 A pair of horses used by Carnelia Bros, the state road builders, caused quite a little excitement last week Friday afternoon. The team was in the freight yard near the Whiton store ready to be loaded with crushed rock, when the horses became frightened and ran into the flagman's house, turning it half way around. One of the horses fell, but got up and they started to run again, immediately col liding with the switch, pulling it out of place. One of the horses again fell and several men attempted to quiet the animals, but it was some time before they were finally under control. The same team has run away A number of times.
