In the morning a four horse team employed in hauling lumber from the saw-mill on Cherry Creek to Silver City and ran away from the Pioneer corral with an empty wagon attached. The corral man called and motioned to the team to stop when the obedient off -wheel-horse threw himself on his haunches and tried to hold the wagon and the balance of team. Being on a down grade they dragged the poor beast about fifty yards when he was thrown and the wagon run over him, but was not seriously hurt, much to the satisfaction of the bystanders who sym- pathised with the obedient animal. The team and wagon brought up against a large cotton- wood on Main street above the Tremont House.
