AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
ON NINETEENTH STREET

There was a very exciting runaway
on Nineteenth street and Sixth ave-
nue. shortly after noon today in which
things were smashed up generally.
The horse, which was attached to one
of Pardon & Sons wagons, was fright
ened by the shafts suddenly droPpin g
on his heels and he became unman-
ageable.
The driver, AL Hulvie, was thrown
out upon his head and narrowly es-
capped serious injury. The wagon
contained several buckets of paste,
which was spread over the nearby vi
entity. The horse was very severely
cut and the wagon badly broken.

and 1t will be thought more of on that
account.
There are momentous questions
confronting the city just now, ques-
tions that bsar on relations to the
railroads already running in here and
others that are anxious to come.
There are questions that pertain 10
manufactures that, like time, will not
wait If the people fail to grasp them.
Rock Island will continue to grow
no matter what developments may
come. The city is greater than all
the corporations that contribute to
its advancement, but the city will
not advance in proportion toits rivals
unless the progressive spirit that has
been so often manifest in the past is
again brought to the surface. 1t is
time for action.
