r. J. Williams Injured Friday After
noon While Dragged by Horse.

r. J. Williams, driver for Mrs. }.
Manchester HAYNES, narrowly escaped
serious if not fatal injuries at about
o'clock Friday afternoon by coming
violently in contact with an iron post
on Water street while being dragged
by a runaway horse. Mr.. Williams
was driving down the street and when
near the L. S. Young store the sleigh
caught in the car track and was over
turned. MIR. Williams was thrown
into the street and although the horse
started on the run he pluckily clung to
the reins.
AS the runaway reached a point in
front of the bakery opposite the jour
nal building the sleigh struck one OF
the iron posts of the standard street
lighting system, staving the dasher
from the sleigh and throwing Mr.. Will
liams against the post in such way
that he received a bad cut over the
right eye. the force of the blow stun
ming him for a moment. He was as
sisted to his feet and taken to the Of
fee of a surgeon nearby. where the in
jury to his eye was attended to. In
addition to that injury he was also
bruised about the right arm and body
and severely wreaehed. Mr.. Williams
complained of severe lameness in the
right leg. After having his injuries
dressed he was taken to his home
After freeing himself the horse ran
up over Riaes hill toward home, but
was caught on Green street near the
Methodist church by Harold Chisam
Young Chisam was out riding one OF
the Stilkey ponies and as the run
away up the hill he gave chase on his
pony and overhauled the team at the
point mentioned. and taking the horse
from the wreck of the sleigh led him
TO the Haynes estate on Western ave
nue. Aside from a few minor cuts
and scratches ii was not learned that
the runaway horse was injured.
Mr.. williams was reported Friday
evening to be resting comfortably and
no serious results from his injuries are
feared.

TH AT brims are growing wider and
III modistes foretell a vogue for large
hats, to begin with the fall season.
Large hats and small, simple coiffures
do not harmonic, and already the
light puff for filling out the couture
has made It's appearance. We have
also to consider small hair rolls or
pads for supporting the hair and
coiffures are quite generally dressed
In waves. These are the wavelets
that are breaking upon a new shore
line in hairdressing, speaking fgura-
lively; they are foretelling a rising
tide of favor for more display in the
management Of the hair. The couture
shown here pictures the hair parted
at one side and waved in smooth, reg
ular fluctuations. There is a short
locA at the front arranged In a light
curl. Some Of the new styles show
two very precise ringlets, one on each
side Of a middle part. For this style
the hair is also waved, but more loose
ly, and the coil Is arranged lower on
the neck.
Long, light puffs help out in build
ing up a couture and a few Of them,
arranged about a coil, make the new
styles easy to accomplish.
The couture arranged on top Of the
head, with the hair combed back from

The coat is not allowed to distract
the attention from this clever posing
of odd lace. 1t is entirely plain, but
quite original in cut. The hat is of
black satin with two extravagantly
long Numidi feathers sweeping be-
yond the brim edge.
The attention of the seeker for new
styles having been seized by this
novel gown, he notes its details to
find new features worth remember
ing. First, it's simplicity; then the
extra length of tunic and width of pet
ticoat; and most noticeable, the wide
hat brim, which is a radical new de-
parture.
1t Is not often that anything SO
striking is at the same time SO ele-
CANT. The combination Of black and
white makes this possible.
The second gown is hardly less
noteworthy and only a shade less orig
inal. The tunic is of black net, hav-
ing an insert of lace wrought in and
a border Of very wide velvet ribbon
above the hem. 1t is set on to the
bodice of black net by a band of black
velvet. The long sleeves are of net
and lace in black. There is that orig
inal touch which means everything in
the really gorgeous embroidery in
white figures which ornaments the net
bodice.
The white feather turban worn with
this costume Is a prominent feature In
styles Of the hour.

Makes Trouble for Berlin.

The father of unrest, as Bal Gan
gadhar Tilak, a C%hitpavan Brahman,
and Mt one time a member of the
Bombay Legislative council, has been
styled, has lately been released from
prison. In 1908 he was prosecuted on
a charge of seditious Indictment in
connection with articles in the
Kesari, a newspaper owned and con-
Quoted by himself. This was just
after the Muzafferpur outrage, when
two English ladies were killed by the
explosion of a bomb, and in the ar
tieles which formed the basis of the
charge assassination by such means
was spoken of with approval. A high
court jury found Tilak guilty and he
was sentenced by Mr.. Justice Davur to
six years transportation. In view Of
his age and health this was COM
muted to simple imprisonment at Man
dalay.
