Runaway on Bartlett Street.

runaway took place on Bartlett
street Saturday that in the end
amounted to smashed up
wagon and a badly skinned
horse, the same being the
property of Crosswell & Company:
1t seems that the negro driver was
unloading the wagon and had gone
to the store on the corner of Wash
ington and. Bartlett streets with all
armful of goods, leaving the horse
unh.tched. as is generally the case,
when the horse became frightened at
an automobile that swept past at a
very rapid gait and started down the
street as hard as he could go. Part
OF the wagon was left on the cor
ner when it struck a telephone post
and the rest was left at the corner
of Main and Bartlett streets, where
the horse stumbled into the drain
and fell down. the negro catching
it before 1t could start off again.

Persons who have not paid their
water rent for the past quarter had
best do so at once, for, If they do
not do so. they will have to go
without water. Mr.. McKagen, su-

has already shut off the water from
some house that are delinquent In
paying their water rent and he will
smut Off the water from the others
who have not paid, as he comes to
them In Strengthening up his books
for the quarter. Persons do not
seem to realize that the city loses
that money that Is not paid for the
water rent and. as 1t Is, the city is
heavily In debt and getting more so
all or the time and needs every cent
OF the money.
