A runaway that might have been
disastrous was comfortably devoid of
any serious consequences Saturday
afternoon when Mrs. Walter Owen,
her little daughter Elizabeth and Mrs.
Edwin Owen, of Philadelphia met the
5.17 train at Clarksbro for the lat
ter's husband; they had about twenty
minutes to wait for the train and
spent the time driving slowly on the
street to station. AS the train ap-
preached they turned; the horse was
restless and in some way the carriage
was overturned so that the occupants
and contents were thrown out, but the
| buggy was righted again, the horse
crossed the track just in front of the
engine and was caught by Joseph De-
vault. Neither horse or buggy were
| injured; the occupants of the carriage
were somewhat bruised, but were very
thankful indeed to escape more SER
ious injuries.
