EXCITING RUNAWAY
ON WEST SIDE
Horse Drags Heavy Wagon by
One Tug for MANY Blocks

A rather lively and exciting run
away occurred about six O'Clock We'd
nesday evening, Nov. Is, that caused
pedestrians who were about and in
the path Of travel of the frightened
horse to scnrry right and left to a
place Of safety.
Thomas Zero, who drives the heavy
dray for Johnson & Hill Co. used for
transporting freight TO and from the
store. had completed his DAYS work
and was unhItching the team at the
barn preparatory to putting them up
for the right, One horse had been
led to his stall, and while in the act
of detaching the other, a stray cat
coming out of the barn at the time,
frightened The skittish animal and
caused it 10 make d dash for liberty.
One tug was still fastened TO the
dray, however, and in this manner it
was dragged by the animal, from the
barn up the street, across the Chicago
& Northwestern r. E. tracks and the
c. NJ. 81 st. Paul E. r. tracks, around
the ST. Paul depot, and back on Grand
Ave to a position opposite the Cen
tralia Hotel, where the animal was
finally stopped by policeman James
Gibson.
The dray was damaged to the
extent of a broken pole, while the
horse, strange to say had the usual
luck of runaways, and was uninjured.

arms and forgave her. Lacking suf-
flcient funds to take his daughter
home with him, Luty returned to
Junction City alone, but promised
Judge Neelen to send for her imme-
diately on his return. Thus ended the
charge made by the daughter. in
which she branded her father a
murderer.

and her father promised to do so.

of the daughter and advised him to
take her home Immediately. The
child was taken to the Detention

TAG DAY SENTINELS

Dimes, Dollars and Gold Fell

In the beautiful little poetic legend
about ''The Other Wise Man." DR..
Van Dyke relates how weary pilgrim
who set out on his long quest follow
ing the star of hope, ended his life's
mission, reached the goal of his siren.
uOas journey and all that he had done
had been in the name of humanity, in
the name of mercy mingled with char
charity he had done for his fellowman,

what beaming smiles, what irresistible

work and the words of thanks to all
who gave fell like d benediction from

one was reminded of the famous in
scripton from Dante, "All hope

WOOD LEADS In BUILDING
According to Government Re-
port Wood is the Leading
Material Used for Building
Purposes.

Great as the advance in fre-proof
construction has been during the last
tel years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber. and both architects
and builders find themselves so de-
pendent on wood today that they are
compelled to admit that the forests
of the country are likely to be the
chief source of building material for
many years to come.
1.-THE use of cement, terra Gotta,
brick and stone. with a frame work of
steel, will make it possible soon to do
away with wood entirely is remark
often heard, and indeed, when one
stands on lower Broadway and looks
up at the towering skyscrapers, the
statement seems to contain much
truth. AS a matter of fact, however,
the popular idea that fre-proof ma
terials will do away with the need of
using lumber in a comparatively few
years is very erroneous one. All of
the various fire-proof materials going
into the approved construction of the
more substantial buildings are used in
greater quantities now than the
world dreamed of a few years ago, yet
the heavy demand for lumber con-
| tinues.
| That wood predominates is shown
by the annual building records. OF
the permits used for buildings erected
last year, approximately 81 per cent
were constructed of wood, and the re-
naming 80 per cent of fire resisting
material, according to report issued
by the Geological Survey on operations
in forty-nine leading cities Of the
! country. These figures are the more
significant when it is realized that
they only represent the building ac-
tivties in the largest cities: they do
tion of dwellings, stores and other
buildings in the thousands of small
cities and towns scattered over and
not included in the forty-nine cities on
which the reckoning is made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predominating building
material and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures for
all places whatever size, the percen-
tage. of wooden constructions would
have been much greater. These
figures, as rule, are only for the cor
porate limits, and the suburbs of these
cities than in towns nearer the base
OF the supply.

All preliminary arrangements had
been outlined in most careful and
effective manner and executed in
every particular. The ''taggers'' were
at their stations promptly at 7:30 o.

he was finally rounded up" and
promptly donated his gifts to Charity.
An old gray-haired fellow who had
seen the SHOWS of many waters. was
prcmonading the streets with a tag
attached to each ear.
Many there were who did not limit
their purchases TO single tag, but
bore number of them upon their
person. Several travelling men, de-
parting on the noon trains were fairly
beribboned with tags. Farmers COM
ing TO town with loads of wood and
hay, were promptly "held up" on the
bridge and elsewhere and tagged,
many even before they had time tc
realize what was going on. But they
quickly caught the spirit of the occa-
sion and gave very literally.
Very few refuSalS were noted
Throughout the day; from the best eSti-
mates obtainable, not one person out
of fifty refused to buy at least one of
the little tags.
Great credit is due the ladies of the
Women's Federation who toiled so
nobly and enthusiastically from early
morn to late at night. The entire
management of the affair is deserving
of unstinted praise for the splendid
manner in which it was handled,
