gifts from her friends. The afternoon

Saturday evening shortly after eight
O'Clock, when the thoroughfare was
contested with vehicles OF every de-

crowded with people on shopping ex-

Columbus Ballard, farmer OF Man

team attached to a wagon. loaded

dashed forward. so that the wagon

Both horses took fright and dashed
along front street. Mr.. Ballard held
/ TO the lines. but was unable to con.
troll the animals. They ran a few
rods, when they came in front of
an automobile. which was standing
near the sidewalk. The team dashed

Team Dashed Through Window.
The team tore loose from the

two large plate glass windows in
the Office of the garage OF Eckman
& Eckman. Inside were seated C.
A. Eckman and Warner Baker, with
their chairs against the farthest
wall The instant the team crashed
through the plate glass the two men
fed through the doorway into
the back part OF the garage
where the automobiles are kept. The
horses tried to pass through
the same doorway, but il was
too narrow for them both 10

up and seized the brides. BY this
time other men were at hand and
the horses were embarrassed and
led. one by one, out of the narrow
doorway and out OF the building
through the automobile entrance OF
the garage. Odd as II may seem
! neither of the horses was hurt much
though one had small cut on the
neck.
Mr.. Ballard was taken TO the I'm

we're dressed by Drs. w. A. Beach

scalp wound and the bruises about
the hip were his worst hurts. He
also suffered considerable pain In

The garage is owned by II. A

The damage to the garage
amounts to about 5000. No insur
