Considerable excitement occurred
in Main street about Z O'Clock last
night, when a horse belonging to
Louis Kiefer, proprietor of the Riv-
erside Cottage hotel, in Broadway,
ran away down Main street. John
Voss, a carpenter, who boards with
Kfefer, was the only occupant of the
wagon at the time, as Mr.. Kiefer had
been in B. ID. Browns hardware store
and just as he was about to get in
the wagon, the horse made a dash
down the street. 1t barely missed
running into another wagon. When
"a Slaight's butcher shop Voss was
thrown out. He received n badly
bruised shoulder and several other
injuries. He was able to go to his
home. The horse continued on his
wild race down the street and turn
ing into Broadway he collided with
al iron street sign.
In attempting to free himself the
harness was broken considerably. He
vas finally caught after an exciting

We find a number of the suburban
farmers coming around town with
their goods at present after haviny
apparently deserted us for the CITY
across the bridge and we have con-
cludcd that the extra price which
some boosted they received for the
goods over there, has come down
slightly.
Waldermar Krouse has had the
windows of the Domestic Supply
Company's store, in Broadway. nice
~ lettered by a man from out of
town.
Mundy G. Hunt caught about six
bushels OF fish in their seine We'd
ncsday night.
There are many strange faces seen
on Broadway evenings, numbers of
ladies being among the number. 1t
would seem as if people residing in
out-of-town places are finding some
thing attractive in our little town.
II is to be hoped that they will pat
rOnize the stores, as some of our
merchants are complaining of bust
ness being very dull. Notwithstanding
the lively appearance of the streets. i
Lucitt's bakery is considerably im-
proved in appearance since another
counter and showcase have been put
in and a partition built across the
rear.
The Browntown Harvest Home did
not appear to attract so many of the
citizens of this borough as the Har-
vest Home at ~Cheesequake did. Only
Il small crowd attended from here.
Few wagons carried them to the for
mer, while for the latter every avail
able wagon and carriage in the town
was used for that purpose. There
were so many on the road going and
coming that the autoists were warn
ed to be careful.
Mrs. T. S. Walsh returned home
from a pleasant visit in several
places. Her home must seem extra
quiet after having entertained so
many guests for most of the summer.
