Long RunaWay-LOcals
There was quite an exciting time
in this village last Friday morning
when a runaway horse came tear
| ing through the village. The horse
started from above East Barnet and
ran all the way through this village
down the mill hill, bringing up in
John Robinson's garden, wagon and
all, and all the damage that was
done was a broken whipple tree.
No one seems to know who the
horse belonged to as there was no
one with the team.
Monday afternoon o. B. Exley of
Peacham was bringing a load of
butter to the station here when his
horse became frightened at an au-
tomobile near the post Office and be-
gan running and kicking 1t ran
down Mill Hill and scattered six
tubs of butter along in the dirt. At
the foot of the hill Mr.. Exley was
thrown from the wagon and quite
badly bruised and shaken up. The
horse ran into Mr.. Robinson's house
and was thrown. 1t got up how
ever and continued until caught near
Morrison's feed store. When the
wagon struck Mr.. Robinson's house
it shattered the clapboards, broke
some glass and knocked off some
plaster on the inside. The horse
and wagon were not seriously dam
aged.
A short time after Mr.. Exley's
runaway a four horse team belong
ing to George Walker became fright
ened at a motorcycle and getting
beyond control came crashing down
Mill hill The driver kept his seat
however and stopped the team at
the foot of the hill.
