the last call of the day and no gro
ceries were in the wagon. The driver
attempted to swing his horses into wy
oming street when the whifletree
snapped. The horses immediatel.
started to run. Tlannery sprang to his
feet and tried to control them, but as
one of the horses was free it plunged
forward and the wagon made an
abrupt turn, upsetting the vehicle and
throwing Flannery into the street. The
pole, by some curious freak, turned
completely around under the wagon
and righted it. The horses continued
on to the end of Wyoming street and
turned into Frank Smiths yard on
Garfield avenue. where they were
caught by Joseph Hall. When an in

the episode it was found that Mr.

shaken up. and that the whiflietrec,

broken.

The annual starring tour of Mildred
Holland in her new play, "The Power
Behind the Throne" began Nov. 20.
The locale of the play is laid in an
Austrian province at the end of the
eighteenth century. The story is a
typical one of intrigues of that time,
from which the author has evolved an
exceedingly intense and interesting
drama, replete with many strong sit
uations.
The production will be on an elab-
crate scale, with historically correct
scenery, furniture and other accessor-
les. while the company will be made
up of well-known artists comprising
over thirty people. Miss Holland will
be at the Grand opera house tonight.
