Mrs. John Lane had narrow escape last
Thursday. She was coming down the Nc
Crilis hill at the eastern end of the lower
bridge, when a runaway horse collided with
her and smashed her sleigh. The runaway
was the leader of a three horse team and
broke away at the other end of the bridge,
being frightened by the cars. The Lane
horse also ran away, but was stopped with
out injury. That so many people could be
involved and no one, or either of the horses
hurt was almost a miracle.

Gently buying fur, and found his agent, 1.
V. Miller, doing good business in that line.

several years and reports that this is an I'M
usually good season. Prices rule high ON
all kinds except muskrat. Fox and mink
sell at from 81 90 to $500, but Mr.. Kakas
thinks these prices are not liable to hold for
the reason that there is now fad in that
class of furs and when it passes prices will
drop suddenly.
MITCHELL & TRUssELL. This is the name
of new firm that begins business on Mon

bers are well known to our people. Martin

Dunbar. Later Mr.. Mitchell bought out his
partner and has since continued the business
alone. He has now sold half-interest to
Mr. Geo. c. Trussell, and the firm name will
be as above. Mr.. Trussell was for more than
ten years the popular and efficient drug clerk
at Poor & Sons and is a registered pharma-

ed to be in business for himself and as he is
mechanical genius he will soon be at home
