a Runaway Accident
S.P. Conductor Injured

Mrs, w. w. Whitehead. wife of Con-
ductor Whitehead ana her daughter
Pearl. were badly bruised up as the
result OF a runaway accident which
happened yesterday afternoon. They
were out driving gentle horse which
had never given any trouble before and
trying q new buggy that they had pur-
chased few days before.
The horse became frightened at some
boys playing in the street and turning
suddendly, tipped the buggy over and
threw the occupants out. The horse
started to run dragging the buggy at
ter 1t but fortunately the occupants
untangled themselves from the lines
and buggy top and were left in the
road when the horse started ahead with
the buggy. The runaway animal was
stopped at Stone avenue before 1t had
dragged the buggy far SO that the
vehicle was not badly damaged.
Conductor Whitehead had just ar
rived in the city and he was called
home by the accident While he was
the horse the animal be-
came frightened and a buckle attached
to the harness struck him in the eye,
cutting the eye bail. He went to q
doctor to have the injured eye dress
ed and since that time 1t has been
him great misery so that 1t Is
feared that he will lose his eye sight.
Mrs. Whitehead and her daughter re-
ceived only slight bruises in the acci-
dent and they will be able TO be around
agaip In few days.

There was a Aght on In just the time

Apaches were behind the rocks and

When the troop had reached the mid

the Apaches' fastness they were met
by Q volley. 1t was death and notnins

A comrade had sought to raise him
and carry him back. but he discovered

run during the time necessary to lit
him to the saddle and be Of with him
was useless.
The supposedly dead man lay there
In the open. The troopers were under
shelter. and while conference was on
among the officers they kept up fire
every time an Apache feather showed
above a rock. Suddenly the trooper
lying on the blisterinS sands midway
between the white and the red foes
was seen to move. The man was not
dead.
From the right Of the troop man
sprang into the saddle and without a
word spurred his horse straight on TO
the bullet-swept feld. He was a olack
trooper going to the rescue OF his
stricken comrade. The Apaches had
seen the movement Of the man lying
prone on the sand as quickly as had
his comrades. Twenty bullets went
straight TO the mark. The fallen SOL
dier was dead before the black trooper
who would rescue him had reached his
side. The reds turned their attention
to the hero who was daring death for
his fellow. They turned their rides
loose at him. One shot killed his horse.

Whore Woman Courts the Man.

There is q sweet simplicity about the
marriage rites OF Burmah. Travellers
will tell US that 1t devolves upon the
woman to do the counting. When n
maiden sees a youth whom she thinks
would make a desirable husband. she
forthwith offers him a stick Of sweet.
meat. II her accepts her proposal he
at once eats her Offering OF affection.
and from that moment she Is his wife.
No further ceremony Is necessary. and
witnesses to the contract are not re-
quired. 1t Is In the act of eating that
this primitive marriage rite consists.
says the Philadelphia Times.
But supposing that the youth de-
clines the offer Of marriage! This he
does by assuring the girl that the
sweetmeat Is not to his taste. and the
maiden knows that she must seek
elsewhere for some one who will ap.
preciate the love which her Offering
betokens.
