of Munjor, became frightened while
standing in front of the blacksmith
shop last Wednesday, and ran away.
The wagon was heavily Loaded with
harvest supplies. They ran down
Juniata Street, then out southeast of

her car but she preferred running it
herself. She kindly offered to do what

the wagon was not hurt but very
much frightened. Mr.. Goezt says
Mrs Strailey is a good driver and can
certainly handle the Buick.
