The most exciting runaway in
tneae parts lor many moons oc
curred Wednesday during the
noon hour, when a horse drawing
a wagon, became frightened in
front of Taylor St Collier's store
snd pulled off s mad race through
the business section of the town,
during which he encountered
many obstacles, none of which
stopped him however.
The runaway first itruck a
wagon belonging to Mr. Wells D.
Tillery, this was not damaged
much, the incident serving only
to increase the speed of the
frenzied animal On he ran miss
ing severs! high priced cars by
only a hairs breadth, it seemed.
Finally the wagon hitched to
the horse struck the car of Tuck
er Fayed with such force as to
jerk it 15 or 20 feet from the
place it was psrked by the curb
of the side walk, smashing the
running board and fender.
Here the wagon wu upset and
only the shafts and front wheels
remained futened to the horse.
After striking the car he tun
ed for his return trip which he
made down on the eut sidewalk
of the Avenue, which cleared
away in short order. Hs took
the sidewalk at E. B. Glover's
with the hub of one wheel on the
pavement snd the other wheel In
the air. Thst none of the piste
glass windows along this walk
were smashed is miraculous,
but the wheels kept this position
all the way down the street
An amusing incident of the
sffsir wu the. complete collspse
of certain youthful bravery.
Said youth went forth into the
street snd challenged the beut
for a show down but when the
horse made a fierce charge in
his direction -he let bravery go
and took safety first for his-he
simply showed the horse how to
run.
