 A team owned by Paul Maceyka of Vestford created considerable excite nent by running away about noon, The bridle was taken from he horse near the Frazier blacks Imith shop, to give him chance to sat. He became frightened and ran 70 Main street, thence to Furnace ave- lue, next through the alley beyond | The Press office. Turning at the rear of The Press office, he ran back to Main street in the rear of the build- ngs on Furnace avenue, crossed Main | street and ran into the yard of Gary's | stable. As the horse came into Main | street the last time he narrowly | missed a little girl. Just before he dashed into the stable yard the animal got entangled in the blanket and fell, put was quickly up and on the way. Not much damage was done outside of 'he harness which was badly broken. When the runaway went through The Press office alley, a horse owned by Luigi Baldracchi left standing by the tide door of the saloon, became fright sned and made a quick dash for a barn in the rear. In this accident lot much damage was done except the shafts and steps were broken. Earlier in the day horse attached to a wagon loaded with bananas and junk ran through the street and stopped at Helms stable. This was another fortunate runaway in the matter of damage done.
