excitement on Sunday. Ross Hend-

drove into George street to call on a

party of George street ordered him to
put the lady out of the wagon. Hend-

took a whip to his horse so as to star
him in a hurry, probably to avoid an
unpleasantness. but the whip struc;
the George street man who was hold

his way from the hands of the George
street man. Hendrickson started
the horse on a run and the George
street man ran too. down George
street. into and up John street and
across town, chasing the flying horse
and wagon. They say the next time
Hendrickson came to town he must
bring a faster horse, or the George

Some time ago several men going

wagon standing in the street while

rugs flying down the street. All of
