And here is another story. This one is
of woman who was tall for a woman and
very broad in the shoulders. Blu, she was

RUNAWAY CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Horse Has Narrow Escape From Run
ming Into Train.

There was a runaway in the vicinity Of
the Rock Island tracks yesterday after
noon that caused considerable excitement
for a while. horse belonging TO the
United States Express company ran
away with the express wagon and for
while it looked as though the wston
would be broken TO pieces. The horse
started at the express office at the Rick
Island tracks. running south and turned
west at the corner OF Lehman Higgin-
sons wholesale store, toward the Santa
Fe yards The switch engine was pulling
a string of cars south on the east track
and as the horse ran toward this moving
train it was thought it would be i'm
possible for her 10 avoid collision with
the cars. Those who were watching the
runaway were expecting to see the horse
hurt and the wagon damaged, when at
the last moment the frightened horse
turned north. the wagon touching the
cars on one side and a telegraph pole on
the other The horse passed between
two more such narrow places and how
she avoided tying up was a miracle.
When the horse was finally stopped the
only damage that had been done was
the breaking of one strap.

WANT A DECISION.
Wichitans Anxious to Hear From In
terstate Commerce Commission,

Wichitans are becoming quite anxious
TO learn the outcome Of the cases
brought by the mayor and council against
several railroads before the interstate
commerce commission. These cases were
heard last October and the final argu-
ments were made in March. \ decision
has been made in ono case but the others
have not been heard from and Il seems
impossible to get decision. The COM
mission has kept the cases under advise
ment so long that no benefit will be re-
ceived in two Of the cases this year and
il viii require very quick work 20 give
this city any benefit IN one case The
decision has been held w so long in
the grain and lumber cases that the
greater part Of this years crop OF wheat

IS entered and Il the commissioners are
disposed 70 do anything for this city
they are giving the railroads the benefit
OF at least one years business. Most
OF the lumber used in Wichita this year
has been shipped and the freight paid
according TO the old rates. Should the
commission hand down decisitn within
the next few days in the coal case Wich-
itans would benefit considerably thereby
but none Of the other cases can help
them now. This is the vacation season
and il is probable that The commissioners

probate judge, who granted a restraining
order against my clients extending its
business or putting up any new poles or
wires, or making repairs. etc. which my
client believed to be without right or
justice and wholly unwarrsnted. yet IN

this injunction. and that case has not
