Seriously Hurt.

Sydney Spence had an expert.
ence Monday morning which he
would not care to have re-
peated more than twice each
day of his life.
He and Marion Vaughn had
been fishing and upon starting
home were in an exciting run
away. The horse. had not been
harnessed properly at the barn
and when it started to run the
lines were of small avail in
checking it. After running near
ly two miles the horse ran into a
spring wagon, tearing a wheel
off the buggy and damaging it
considerably.
Sydney Spence jumped from
the vehicle just before the col
lision and landed on some of
the hardest of Nebraska soil,
seriously injuring his back and
left limb which confined him to
his bed for several day.
Bill Moore and wife were in
the spring wagon and brought
the two gentlemen to town, it
being impossible for Mr.. Spence
to walk.
The runaway horse was the
first to arrive in this city and
made straightway for its quar-
ters at the Mettz barn. The
animal sustained a badly cut
foot.

onto Lane street and was finally
stopped near the telephone Office,
by Sidney Lapp and several
others. The carriage was tipped

An Exciting Game.

One of the most interesting
and lively games pulled off on a
base ball diamond, was the one
between the Salem team and
Falls City coming leaguers last
Friday afternoon.
The boys held forth at the
Poteet park and put on one of
the best matches that have
been played here for some time.
Although the members of the
nine are very young, they put
up better game than most of
the players, six years their
senior.
A large number of base ball
enthusiasts were in the grand
stand and Tended their support.
Some person should take
charge of the team and see that
the boys have plenty of work
outs in order to develope their
base ball talents and give to
Falls City some famous league
players.
Fridays game never once
failed in interest, neither did
the good plays all bunch in the
first two or three innings.
Scores were run in by Reavis,
Huber, Morris, Mcdonald and
Gist; the first two landing two
to each of their credits.
Thornburg secured the two
poles for Salem.
For a good clean, snappy
game give us a contest where
these young winners play.
The line-ups were as follows;

Team Frightened.

A man from Rulo was loading
some lumber into his wagon, at
the Graham yard when the team
became unruly and went west on
Fifth street. In turning the
corner at the Wahl & Parchen
store one horse slipped on the
concrete crossing and falling was
dragged down the street by its
mate. Stopping in front of the
grocery department of the V. G.
Lyford, the one horse regained
its feet and the team circled
around, continued its western
course and tore into a corner of
the porch at the Lindell hotel.
Some of the harness was broken
but aside from this and a bruised
horse no serious damage was
sustained.

Horse Raw AWay.

Master Leon Norris was thrown
from the buggy while turning a
horse around, last Sunday even
ing. The horse is quite gentle
and the accident was therefore
wholly unexpected. In turning
near the home of Adolph Messler,
Leon made the circle very short
ly which frightened the horse
causing it to plunge forward,
then start on a run, south on
Fulton street. The boy was
thrown from the buggy and was
badly bruised.
The animal turned the corner
one block south of Mr.. Messler's
residence and started west on
Seventh street, but the buggy
went into the ditch throwing the
horse and entangling it in the
harness. Bystanders extricated
it and beyond trembling with
fright the horse sustained no in
juries. The buggy was almost a
total wreck, while Leon may be
thankful over escaping serious
injury.
