AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
Wagon Load of Corn is Dumped in
Front of Post Office.

Albert Rinden's horse-mule team
broke the peaceful monotony of a
hard pulling life, by capering down A
avenue with a wagon load of corn
yesterday afternoon, and then pulling
off a big time gymnastic stunt,
somersaulting and slippery-sliding,
while still in the harness. Following
a few difficult maneuvers and intri-
cate steps, the blithsome pair sue
ceeded in separating the front wheels
from the wagon and precipitating the
wagon load of corn in the middle of
the street. Young Rinden was driv-
ing the team along A avenue west,
when the tongue dropped loose at the
North A street corner and the ami
mules" started running. Rinden
jumped from the wagon and let the
frolicers take their way unmolested,
After the mix up in which the mule
slipped and fell, and the horse did
high dive over the partner, the front
axle and wheels were torn loose from
the wagon. The mule was some cut
by the fall and the horse received a
few scratches. Rinden was forced to
leave the wagon standing in the mid.
die of the street until another convey
ance could be secured.
