RUNAWAYS
Saturday last was a day prolific of run-
aways in our little city.
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.
