HORSE  CAR  ASTRAY

An  Arm’s  palace  horse  car,  on  which  the
brakes  were  out  of  repair,  made  its  escape  from
the  yard  in  this  city  Sunday  last,  and  started
on  a journey  of  its  own,  with  a down  grade  pull.
The  car  had  a move  on  when  it  passed  through
town  gaining  in  speed  every  minute.  An  engine
was  dispatched  in  hot  pursuit,  and  overhauled
the  runaway  a few  miles  this  side  of  Doming,
not  much  the  worse  for  its  exciting  race.  The
horses  were  all  right.
