EHRHARDT, April 15.--While DR.. j.
Copeland was hitching up his horse las
Thursday, the animal became frightene
and made few plunges forward. Th
Doctor lost his hold and the horse bein
of active mind and body soon discovcre
he was minus driver, and with madden
ing strides passed through town. Pro
prietors and clerks rushed to the door
and amid their cries and efforts to stOl
him he exercised an effort to increase hi
speed as though they were cheering hin
on. A moment later the scene was owe
and only q cloud of dust in the distance
marked the way in which he was las
seen moving. DR.. Copeland got OF
another horse and started to run the run
away down. Dr. j. r. Roberts and A. G
Reynolds joined in the chase with DR.
Roberts's pair, which had just been
hitched up for a drive down the country
The trail of the runaway was easily kept
by the liberal distribution of bottles OF
medicine, surgical instruments, and other
articles belonging to the medical profes-
sion scattered along the road side. AS
we passed Mr.. Washie Hughes's we saw
him standing by the road side. he in
formed us that the chase had been joined
in by several farmers, who had thrown
the harness from their horses in the field
and fell in behind the runaway, which
had passed there only about ten minutes
previous at slowing up rate OF about
three minutes to the mile. On .wetraveled,
and as we were coming out of Saltke-
hatchie swamp we met those who had
taken the lead in the chase returning
with the runaway with not thing broken.
Here DR.. Copeland and your humble
scribe got in the buggy of the runaway
and headed the procession back to Ehr-
hardt. My! how we did come. I first
got dizzy and then felt slight touch of
sea sickness, and when we were safe back
in Ehrhardt took out my watch and
found we had been gone % inmates and
covered ten miles of road.
ANOTHER RUNAWAY.
On last Tuesday Mr.. H. G. Copeland's
horse ran away from what is known as
the old jeff Copeland place, which is
about four miles from town. While the
horse was a good runner he was not as
safe on the public highway as DR.. Cope
lands horse, for he ran into and demol-
ished the rear end of buggy which was
driven by Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Kirkland.
Mr.. Kirkland held on to his horse and
was not otherwise damaged. The runa-
way in this case was hitched to light
Jersey wagon and brought the two front
wheels and shafts to Ehrhardt and Was
stopped by a crowd of men at the arte-
sian we'll. !

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

if the town would give them righl Of way
of ten miles and site for depot, with five
thousand dollars, that they would guaran-
tee the road to be brought by this place
and would not exact any money until the
road reached here. In response to this
proposition, Capt. j. NJ. Dannelly headed
the list with two thousand dollars and
two miles of the right of way; Copeland &

hoped that others may subscribe as liber-
