The team of Mr.. o. d. Wells was
standing in front of Ordway's block,
Tuesday, when the Norridgewock cleo
trio came along, at which the animal
took fright, reared up, jumped sidewise
and overturned the wagon in which was
Mrs. Wells, throwing her out but for
tunately without injury. In his fright
the animal rushed across the sidewalk
into the hallway that leads to the offices
of Ordway block, and climbed the
stairs as far as the wagon attached
would permit. The noise incident to
such runaway startled the occupants
of the block, Forrest Goodwin, ESQ.,,
being the first to get to the animals
head and restoring quiet. With the
assistance of the owner the team was
backed out, and most singular to relate
the extent of the damage was trifing.
