tion was never more noticeably exempli-
fed in Milton than on Wednesday even
ing OF last week. w. W. Conwell, cash
ier of the National Bank, with his wife
and four-year.old son in buggy, stopped
in front of 5. J. Wilson K Sons store to
act a new bride bit While Mr.. Wilson
was after the bit the bride was taken
from the horse, and when he returned
with the bit and attempted to put it into
the horses mouth, the animal began to
rear and plunge. Mr.. Conwell was out
of the buggy, but Mrs. Conwell and son
were sitting in it. As the horse started
Mr.. Wilson seized her by the nostrils but
could not stop her. Seeing he could not
stop the animal, and believing he was
going to get hurt if he held on, he let 90
and in so doing was thrown against post,
hurting one of his arms and legs some
what. The horse being relieved sprang
into a run and made for the dock. Then
there was exhibited the awful spectacle OF
an unmanageable runaway without a
bride, hitched to abuggy in which were
lady and little boy. The spectators un-
able to render any assistance, held their
breath. and looked on in horror, expect
ing each moment to see the occupants
thrown out and killed. But before reach
ing the river the horse turned on the dock
and ran amongst the piling strewn all over
the wharf Mrs. Conwell and son were
thrown out but, providentially, in a clear
space between the piling and were COM
paratively unhurt The buggy was COM
pletely demolished. The horse ran to the
upper part OF Federal street and was cap
tured near Wilson'S hardware store.
