Sander Brynjulson's black team is
fast, very fast indeed, as many alarmed
citizens can testify after watching
a sample Of speed last Friday after
noon in a race for just two blocks
from the Heckmaster & Reynolds
creamery to the big telephone pole at
the post office corner The team was
driven up to the creamery platform
and Sander stepped from the light
wagon handing the lines to his
daughter. Sander picked up a box of
eggs in the wagon to remove the
same to the platform. The runaway
member of the team heard some unu-
sual noise in the operation and
jumped ahead like a foot racer. A
big tank box was in front but they
sheered to the right and headed for
Mrs. Southard's corner, and in the
middle of 5th street turned sharp
to the east. At this sharp turn Miss
Brynjulson was thrown clear of
the vehicle and fortunately es-
capped unhurt, and almost certain
death at the post office cor
ner, where the tongue of the wag-
on made a three inch hole in that
big solid pole. This abrupt ending of
the runaway caused one of the horses
to turn heels I'VE head landing in the
middle Of the street and the other
slid clear across the street stopping
with its head under the sidewalk.
The horses did not seem to be hurt
and the wagon was not smashed.
Mr.. Brynjulson escorted his daughter
over to the Warner and Randall
paper. store and went down to the
post office to see if there was either
hide or hair of the team left or what
had become of the wagon. Sander
