There was a lively time at the
Oscar Strehlow farm near New Eng
land last Thursday afternoon when
three four-horse teams INDUCED in a
runaway. The three teams were at
work in the field, discing and seed
ing, when one Of the teams or a drill
started the rumpus by running when
the drill pole broke. This outfit
frightened another team which in
turn started the third team. In the
mix-up a f%our-horse team and disc
ran over one of the younger sons of
Mr.. Strehlow, but, strange as it may
seem, the young man escaped without
a scratch. One horse was cut up a
little but the total damage was
small.
Stella, the five-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Wallner Of
Desart had a narrow escape from
serious injury one day last week.
Her brother, George, who is twelve
years old, was driving a four-horse
team attached to a disc and Stella
was riding on the disc. While the
horses were resting, the little girl
climbed on the back of one of the
gentle animals, but this frightened
the other horses and a runaway fol-
The boy was thrown from
the disc and the little girl fell be-
tween the horses. That the little girl
was not killed seems a miracle, but
in some ann the disc jumped over
the child, who came out of the mix-up
without a scratch.
