Saturday morning the delivery
horse from the Dominick Reiland
meat market on the west side ran
away, and after going for severa
blocks ran into farmers team
and though the farmers boy, who was
in the wagon, was thrown out, no
injury was done further than to break
up the delivery wagon. The horse
started near the Chicago & North
western depot, and the driver being
away from the rig for the time being,
the horse got away. 1t ran onto the
side walk at the Dixon house, and
followed this down To the corner of
Third and Grand Avenues.
Here the frightened animal dashed
out into theIStreet and continued its
course toward the bridge. A farmers
team was tied up in front of johnson
& Hill's and the runaway horse ran at
full speed into it. The delivery
wagon caught on the wheels of the
farmers wagon, forcing the latter
ahead till it was stopped by a hydrant
A small boy was seated in the farmers
wagon and he was thrown out to the
side walk and against the hydrant
He was pulled out of danger by &
bystander, before he was injured
The horse was caught, and no one
was jniurad hut the delivery cart was
smashed till it is useless.

LOCKED IN A BOX CAR

Three knights of the grip were the
victims of good joke last week.
They were at Babcock, and wishing
to get into Grand Rapids to spend the
night instead of staying in that vii
lage, they decided to take freight
train and come here. The weather
being stormy, they got into box Ca l
out of the.raln and pulled the door shut
behind them. A breakman came by
and locked the car unknown to the
occupants and When the train started,
they tried to get out and were unable
to do so. They yelled to attract at
tention; they shouted for help; even a
blood curdling cry of murder was
sent up in a fashion that rent the
evening air in twain and even more.
but failed to rent the sides CT the
car to any extent. Incidentally, they
pounded the door with their hands and
shouted fire.. Becoming exhausted
with these efforts, and feeling sure
they would be deported before help
would arrive, they fell upon each
others necks and wept. With one
last despairing effort they kicked the
side of the car and the sound was
heard. The door was opened and the
crestfallen travelling men escaped
into the darkness. They arrived in
Grand Rapids all right, but! The
three were William Osborn, George
FOran, and E. H. Mayer.

FIRST TINE In
MANY YEARS
Former Grand Rapids Girl Re.
turns After Many Years.

Mrs. G. w. G. McCready, of Black
hawk, Sauk county, Wis, is visiting
her sister, Mrs. T. j. Cooper on the
west side. Twenty-seven years ago
Mrs. McCready, then Miss Minnie
Douglas, was a resident of this city
and taught school in the rural district,
near here. One in particular, the
Granger district as it was called
she taught in, and hoared at the old
Sweeney home near Sigel.,
Sunday, with Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper
she drove to the scene of her early
labors as school teacher. She was
unable to find the place, and was
overcome with wonder at the improve
mentS made all about there
She said she recognized the house
where she used to board, but the
surrounding country was all new to
her. Then it was all forest with TN
few farm houses and improvements.
Now farms and open country take the
place of the woods and wilderness oil
the early day, and she could hardly
believe that the places were the same
They drove through all the country
she knew in the early day. but it wa:
all strange to her, and she declared
| that had she been set down there Sht
would never have recognized her ole
school yard and the surrounding
country.

BUYS LIVERY STABLE

A. Moore purchased, on the latter
part of last week the livery stable
formerly operated by P. HI. Davis on
Vipe street. Mr.. Moore purchased
only the personal property and the
business, as the real estate did not
belong to Mr.. Davis. The latter
expects to go to Wausau, and Mr..
Moore will, in the future, conduct the
stable as it was before, as livery
and boarding place for horses. The
stable has some good property, and as
Mr.. Moore is we'll known, the venture
will undoubtedly prove success.
His barber shop will be operated as
before, and this new business will not
effect the old in any.W

Office employees moved all the fixtures,
cabinets, tables, and parapherDalia
belonging to the postoffice into the
new block recently erected by L. j.

change, as we'll as the postOflice force
The old fixtures will be cleaned and
then re-varniShed giving them a new
appearance. New postoffice fixtures

authorities will see that the proper
sidewalks are laid and the streets
properly named. When this is

Two Mining Men Murdered.

RAPID CITY, S. D.-News has just
arrived by courier of the murder of
the Cain brothers. two bachelors who
lived at the Tamarack mine, fifteen
miles west of this city. The murder
is the greatest mystery. 1t is known
that the brothers had trouble with
some neighbors and they are suspect
ed of the crime. The courier states
that the bodies have the appearance
of having been dubbed to death. One
theory is that they were murdered for
a wagon load of merchandise recently
purchased.

Correspondent Has an Interview With
Him.
LONDON-The correspondent at
Nagasaki of the Express has had an
interesting interview with General
Stoessef, in the course of which the
general says:
1.-THE ca%pitulation occurring on New
Years day was merely an incident.
The loss of 203-Meter hill and the.
subsequent capture of forts, combined
with the deadly craftsmanship with
the terrible ~eleven-inch shells, the de-
pressing effect of the death of Gener-
al Kondratenko and the fearful in
crease of scurvy, really fixed the time
of capitulation. 1t is quite untrue that
| dissented from the unanimous deci-
sion of the final council of Our
final urgent request for relief was
never answered.
LAS regards parole, I distinctly dis
couraged any concerted action. Every
officer decided for himself. Generally
commanding officers stuck with their
men and chose imprisonment. Most Of
the naval officers also chose captivity,
many probably being Influenced by
the fear of impending court martial"
The correspondent adds that con
versation with other Russian oflcers
reveals great bitterness against Ad-
miral Alexieff for his failure to srop-
erly fortify Port Arthur and his
cowardly flight" by the last train from
the fortress.
They say the torpedo boat destroy
ers that escaped before the surrender
carried all the regimental and naval
colors to Chez Foo. The junior officers
denounce the incapacity and folly of
the government in entering upon the
war and declare that all the men who
return to Russia from Port Arthur are
r~evolutionists in spirit. These opin-
ions were openly expressed in the
presence of General Stoessel, who re-
marked:

the right to think as they please by
