It has been several years since
there was a runaway team seen on

morning there was considerable ex-

hitched to a farm wagon took run
on several streets. Fortunately no
one was hurt. There were many
automobiles on the streets but the
team missed them as well as the
poles. The team was on the side
walks part of the time but nothing
was broken or damaged.
