Runaway Accident.

Sunday morning early team draw
ing heavy mountain wagon con-
tanning number of Oakland's young
people who were Oh their way to
Grantsville to witness the dedication
of the new Catholic church at that
place, and driven by VIII Browning,
of Oakland, became unmanageable
at the top of the mountain north of
Bittinger and started to run away
down the steep incline. The driver
did all he could to check the horses,
but the tongue was broken at the
outset and added to this the parting
of the lines left the driver and his
companions in analmost helpless con-
dition. After going down the noun
tain for some distance Mr.. Browning
was thrown out. Owen Treacy, an
other occupant of the wagon, then
endeavored to stop the fight of the
horses and he was likewise thrown
out. Tommy Gender met with a
similar fate about the time the run
Always collided with a wagon directly
in front. The impact was so great
that the latter team also ran away
and continued to run for several
miles before they were stopped.
When the collision took place be-
tween the two teams the horses in
the rear wagon broke from the vehi-
Gle which accounts for no one being
seriously injured. One of the horses,
however, was badly hurt by being
pierced with portion of the neck
yoke and necessitated that it be left
behind for the rest of the journey,
another animal having been secured
from farmer residing in the vicinity.
The injured horse is the property of
