Were Hurt.

There was runaway Saturday after
noon late, in this city, which came
near being a very serious affair, and
as it was, two men were painfully
hurt. They are lack and Thomas
Hardison, who live near Rock Springs
in this county. They were coming
to town in a two-horse wagon, and
near Burns Springs the horses became
frightened and ran away. The men
were unable to control them and they
ran the wagon with great force into a
telephone pole. The wagon was
smashed and both men were thrown out.
The horses broke loose when the collision
occurred and were caught by some par
ties who happened to be near. Both
the MessIs Hardison were picked up
bleeding and hurt. One had an arm
broken and his head severely cut,
while the other was badly bruised and
skinned up. They came on up town
to physician and had their wounds
dressed, ana while their injuries are
painful they are not considered neces-
sarily dangerous. The, tongue was torn
out of the wagon and one wheel was
smashed and the telephone pole was
broken in three places.
