There was an exciting runaway on High

After going a short distance Nichols and
the smaller OF the two boys were thrown
out and the horse continued on with the
Vincent boy still chnging 10 the seat.
AT the Titus street crossing, the gates

SMALL REGISTRATION.
II would appear that the efforts
which have been put in by the party
porkers In other cities In the state in
the interests OF n big registration
have not been duplicated in this city.
At any rate when the books were
closed on Saturday night II was found
that the number OF names on the lists
were over a hundred less than that
OF year ago
II Is believed. however that the
Democrats are ahead In this work. for
while they have done quite a lot Of
work. II is a fact that there has been
falling off In effort on the part OF
the Republicans. The reason for this
is perhaps to be found in the factional
differences which exist In the party

TO be able to settle The total reg
istration was 1867.
