Two runaways in the space OF about
fifteen minutes was the record made
by a horse belonging to George Ma
dara, of the firm of Madara Bros, gro
GERS, here on Tuesday. Clarence Ma

cry of groceries, and had stepped from
the wagon with a basket of goods, at
his brothers home on Railroad ave-
nue., when the horse started up the
avenue and into Main street AMI turn
ed into Mill street, at furious rate.
On Mill street hill it ran into a stone
wall and upset the handsome new
grocery wagon and there freed itself
from all but the front wheels, with
which it ran into the open door of a
blacksmith shop knocking down two
of the four horses being shod there,
and then tried to run through another
open door, but got fast in the door
way and there was caught, and taken
back to Madara's store, and hitched
to another wagon, when it proceed
ed to run away again, and this time coll
lided with q cart throwing the driver
out and dragging him some distance.
The horse was caught near Clark's
Hotel and was uninjured, but both
wagons were broken, the first one bad
