AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
There was an exciting runaway this
morning one In which men, boys on foot
and I'm teams took part. A pair of horses
attached 10 a hack were left standing on
First street for a few moments and they
ran away going over lots and smashed
through a fence or two, and made their
way 10 the lots OF Fort Hill. AT one time
Il looked as II the OUTFIT would be rolled
down the steep embankment on the west
side OF the hill 10 the railroad tracks and
IL could be seen, that one or more OF the
wheels more than once went over the
bank but the fight OF the horses was fast
enough to keep the carriage from going
over. II was not until the horses ran into
a trench that they stopped and the most
peculiar part OF the affair Is that only the
pole and one trace was broken. Neither
OF the horses sustained even a scratch.
