"A team of spirited horses owned
by Fred Robinson, of Dyberry, ran
away from him on Terrace street on
Wednesday afternoon, while he was
delivering eggs and ran down the hill
past Durland-Westo Shoe factory
at top speed. They missed the tele-
phone pole in front of the Farmers
and Mechanics bank by about two
inches and continued on their mad
pace down Tenth street until they
reached Church street where they
turned up. At this point, however
at the speed the horses were going
the turn could not be made and the
light wagon crashed into the curb
and the horses stopped. The horses
did not receive a scratch and the wa
gon was not injured. A little dam
age was done, however, to the har-
ness. A case of eggs fell out as the
team left Main street and most of the
eggs were fractured. ]. e. Rich
mond and wife were being driven tc
the postoffice about this time and
were near Schoell's barber shop when
the team rushed upon them. The
driver was obliged to turn onto the
walk to avoid a collision.
