A lady driving into town Tues
day came near having runaway.
The wind was blowing quite
hard and several large pieces of

the street which scared the

kept under control by the driver.
While no damage resulted from
this case, it would be well for
people to see that loose paper
does not get onto the streets,and
thus perhaps cause a runaway.
