There was an exciting runaway yester-
day forenoon, when heavy two-horse
team owned by Gary Bros. started from
WarIen's mill and made dash down
Furnace avenue. They were travelling at
q good rate when they went around the
corner at Andrew Whiton's. They struck
q pile Of sleepers, but cleared and con-
tinued with but little cessation of speed.
The corner leading to the lane between
the Baker block and Gary Bros. stable
was made all right, and they were stop
ped on Main street In front of the scales.
Levi Gary was one Of the first to join the
chase, and he caught the reins at the
same time that Thomas Hayes appeared
In front OF the horses waving Spring
field Republican. Much credit Is due
both citizens. As far as could be seen,
no damage was done, which seems almost
miraculous. 1t was impossible TO learn
what started the team.
