Runaway Stopped by Tree.

w. II. Clouser drove to town last
Tuesday after a load Of lumber
One of his horses was a youngster
and as Mr. Clonser drove out Of
Burgner, Bowman's yard with his
load, the sight of an automobile
putting along in the street proved
too much for the colts nerves.
The first thing their driver knew
the lumber was scattered all over
the Street in front of the lumber
office and he was watching his
team annihilating the distance be
tween them and the eastern hori-
zon, having jumped from the wag-
on when they got out of his CON
troll. In front of Bert Webb's res
idence the team collided with a
tree and came to an abrupt halt.
with considerable damage to the
wagon and some injuries to one of
the horses The damage was not
so great, however, in either case
that it couldn't easily
have been worse, and Mr.. Clouser
probably considers himself lucky
in the outcome, rather than other
wise.

REPRESENTED MOSTLY BY
ISANSFEHS OF REAL ESTATE
Month Of December Shows an
Increase Of at Least Twenty
Per Gent

Last month was by far the best
month IN the register OF deeds Office
IN three years. There was more
money taken in fewer mortgages re-
corded and more land transferred
ihan in any December or any other
month in my experience
This is the way Register Mexican
describes the gloom and deprcs lion
mat some people say has been hang
ing over Guthrie on account OF GER
tain controversies now pending The
increase of at least 20 per cent in
total business and a great increase in
actual land sales at the close OF
dry year and one full OF politics and
turmoil indicates tina; if anything is
the matter with this part Of the coun-
try il is something pretty fine and
comfortable.
In December there were handied
iSO numbered Instruments. OF these
fully $50 were transfers. Mr.. Me
kean said today that In closing up
the year and transferring to new
basis, he had not had time to do u
great deal OF figuring, but he finds
that the receipts of the Office exceed
by 500 the receipts for any otner
month in the three years, meaning an
increase Of at least 20 per cent, and
that mortgages recorded we~e far
fewer in number than in any other
busy month. There were some re-
leases
