Personal and Social.
a had Runaway on rlaln Street.

Wednesday shortly before noon Main
street was the scene OF considerable eS-
citement. Frank Green's fine and spirit
ed buggy horse was hitGhed in front Of
the post office, Some passing object
caused him To scare and break loose.
He dashed down the street. taking the
sidewalk at the Rocky Ford Hardware
Co. corner. G. NJ. Hall was standing in
front Of his door and SO rapid Was the
horses movements that he did not have
time To get out OF the way. HE was struck
by the hub OF the buggy with such sio-
lenee as to throw him against the glass
door OF his office breaking the glass. Not
only so. but he struck the outside knob
with such force as To break the iron rod
which connected il with the inner knob,
He was then thrown down on the side
walk. While severely bruised. his inlur-
les are much less than might have result
cd from such rough handling. He was
able to be at the office short time in
the afternoon and will doubtless be fully
recovered in few days.
At Hiliiser's corner the horse took To
the street and ran as II on a race track.
At the State bank corner heavy team
driven by Mr.. Erickson WAS met and
the runaway frantically tried TO Jump
over the pair OF horses, but only succeed
ed in getting entangled in the harness.
causing the team To run. In this sitna-
ton he was dragged almost half block
when Dodge Hale. with considerable
personal risk. caught the runaways.

We are very comfortable. however. and |
do no, hear that there Is any more dis
trcss than usual among tho Indians. You
doubtless read last fall that tho Nasaios
were starving. These stories were cs-
sggorated. The lndiars are no, starving.
though some Of them are quite poor.
But poverty is not an unnixod owl with
thom. When hunger eompols them. they
will work much more than when hoy
have abundance. ! am JUS, glad tina,

convention for the nomination
for congress, Mr.. Hermann was ap-
pointed by President Mckinley
as commissioner Of the general
land Office. The two had served
for several years together in con-
gress, and it was by reason of this
that the coveted plum fell to the
Oregon man. He served in the
place throughout the Mckinley adj
ministration and under the Roose-
welt regime until his retirement the
first of last February, the facts of
which are recent history.
A fact that undoubtedly con-
fronts his friends, is that Mr.. Her.
mann's nomination would, under
the circumstances, be slap at the
Roosevelt administration.
