social hour was spent.
Fanny, brown mare which has been In
the Martin livery stable for twelve years,
is noted for her love of home. Recently
the electricians hired her of w. A. Murray
and went to Bloomington, where they were
at work on the electric line. Mr.. Murrsy
told them to put rope behind her at
night, as she had habit of taking her
halter off at pleasure. but they neglected
the caution, and the next morning, very
early, Guy Aldrich heard horse at the
back door of the livery stable. He said
"Come around, Fanny, to the front door
and I'll let you in." She came in and
whinnied for her grain. This is only one
OF several times that she has come home,
sometimes with sleigh or wagon when she
has beer lightly hitched, but never has
broken harness, sleigh or vehicle. The
night she came home last was very rainy,
and she did not stop to feed by the way,
but made straight for her stable.
Yesterday afternoon there was a runa-
way which demolished two wagons and
did considerable damage. The facts were
as follows: Mrs. Clarence Damon hitched
her horse near the priests house. What
| frig htened the horse is not known,
but he broke away and went tearing down
by James Cassidy's and along High street.
j. n. Webster was driving along High
street when he heard someone crying out,
ga horse is running away" Mr.. Webster's
horse being fast stopper kept away from
the runaway horse behind him, but Albert
Morrill's team was standing in the high
way near DR.. Blake's when the Damon
horse ran into the hack. The wagons we're
tipped over, the horses were thrown for a
few minutes, when the Damon horse kicked
himself free and ran up the street. A
thill and spokes were broken out OF Mrs.
Damon's wagon and the harness badly
broken, W hile Mr.. MorrilI's hack had one
wheel completely demolished, and some
other damage was done. 1t was very for
tunate that no one was in the hack or q
more serious accident might have resulted
from the collision.
