Team Dashes on Walk, Narrowly Miss
ing Two People.
A runaway on a South Third avenue
sidewalk, near the union station,
which resulted in the narrow escape Of
four people and a badly damaged
buggy, caused plenty of excitement,
and forced pedestrians to get out OF
harms way, late Wednesday afternoon.
The team, which was being. driven to
Ferguson by two men, of that town,
whose names could not be learned,
was stopped near the Northwestern
tracks to wait for train. When the
engine passed, the horses whirled,
striking telephone pole with the
tongue, which was broken. Continuing
to whirl, the team got onto the side
walk and dashed north. In their path
were two young women, who dashed
into the doorway of a store to get out
Of the way. At the corner of Market
street and Third avenue the team
collided with another telephone pole,
throwing both of the occupants Of the
buggy out Neither was more than
bruised and scratched. Tearing away
from the pole, the horses continued to
run north in the street until they again
collfded, this time with Marshall Oil
Company dray. One horse passed on
either side of the dray, but breaking
away from it and turning around, the
frightened animals started to run
south and turned onto Market street,
where they were caught. The wheels,
tongue and other parts of the buggy
were broken.

Wet Grounds at Quincy Prevent First
of Series Being Played.
Marshalltown and Quincy were I'M
able to play off the first game of the
last series between the two clubs, at
Quincy yesterday, on account of wet
grounds. BY not playing and by Jack
sonville losing to Waterloo, Marshall
town rose into fourth place, Jackson
Vile dropping to fifth.
The present series will afford an ex-
celent opportunity for Kennedy to re-
gain lost ground If he can but win
from quincy. With Burlington and
Oskaloosa playing, the latter stands d
good chance of losing al least one
more or perhaps two of the games,
which will reduce its percentage ma
terially With Waterloo pitted against
Jacksonville, and the odds favoring the
leaders, another lost game or two will
put Jacksonville down farther out of
the way, while il Oskaloosa is pulled
down, there will be chance for Ken
nedy to regain third place
Following the series at Quincy,
Kennedy will take his men TO Jackson
Vile for the last of the games in the
south before the season ends.
