 IN BAD RUNAWAY

Harrington and Alexander Greet, sons of Alexander Greet, Joe Price, son of James Price, John Riley, son of John Riley and Sam Hughes were in one-horse wagon on their way to the city with wagon load of jugs filled with water from Mint springs for delivery to their customers.
 As the horse came down a slight hill the holdback strop broke and the horse began to run when the wagon ran onto him. The boys grabbed for the lines and with two boys pulling on each line the horse ran Into a ditch and turned the wagon over, throwing all of them out John Riley was severely cut on the face and his body bruised all oyer and he is in a bad way but nothing serious. Joe Price had his left thigh broken in two places. just above the knee and again close to his body. He is also bruised all over the body and Harrington and Alex ander Greet were both terribly bruised all over the body and Harrington was knock ed senseless and remained so for some time. Both of these boys are badly hurt in their backs and are unable to move in bed.

 Is Between Russia and Japan.
 London, August 14-Information reach ing here from Paris Is to the effect that the oreign office Is not yet able to state the position which France will take re garding the seizure of Ahe Russian tor pedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni at Che Foo by the Japanese.
 It is pointed out that the matter is one between Russia and Japan in which Franeeis not directly interested. Should Russia protest against the seizure, France will act as an intermediary in accordance with the agreement by which she is charged with the care of Russian inter ests in Japan during the war but her at titude will depend entirely upon that of the Mikado's government which 1t is i'm possible to foresee.
 For instance should Japan throw the blame for the affairs upon a naval of- fcer, apologize and give up the Ryeshi- telni, the matter would simply be drop ped.
