Last evening about six O'Clock,
Charles Robins, driver of the Winnie
mucca stables delivery team, was in
the act of taking the mail from the
wagon when the horses started to
run away and the young man, who
was thrown on the ground at the
time, saw that the maddened ami
mails must be stopped or something
serious would happen. He ran to
the side of the wagon and stepped
on the brake block, was dashed
under the seat, but retained pre-
sence of mind enough to grasp the
lines and before the bridge had been
crossed, had the horses under con-
troll. No damage was done either
to the man or the horses.
The town supports two good pa
