Night Phone Main 115 One day last week there was as lively a little runaway n the streets o Medford as has often been put up. Drayman Slover's team "lit out" from near the depot baggage room and did not stop until they had enooun tered an fileotrlo light pole, near the city park. In making a turn from the depot to West Seventh street they eucounterpd a corner of the exhibi tion buildings, but fortunately only tore off a small moulding. Druggist Kelso happened to be on the walk at this point and in hastening to get out of harm's way, he slipped and fell which fall threw him on the op posite side of a telephone pole, and thus saved him from being run over. When the team struck the eleotrio light pole, near the park, the pole was broken squarely off and was oarried as far as the wires would permit. It was a vicious runaway and the wonder is that someone was not injured. We do not know how the team happened to stait, but this much is true, as applies to all teams none of them should be allowed to stand for an in stant without being seourely tied or someone holding them. If there is not now an ordinance compelling, not only draymen, but ail others, to thus proteot the lives of citizens, there should be one passed at once. Make every offense punishable by a flue and see to it that the fine is imposed and paid. All over skirts reduced at Hutohi son & Lumsden's. 2-lt Someone attempted to burglarize Nicholson & Piatt's hardware store Sunday night and the back door was the scene of operation. The. door stop was pried off and a portion of the door was whittled away in an at tempt to reaoh the bolt whioh held the door on the inside. The thief was evidently frightened away when he had nearly accomplished his pur posethe bolt having been very near ly reached. That the thief was a novice at the business was oonolusive ly shown by the haggling jack-knife way in whioh he went at the job. This was the first night for years that Mr. Nioholson's watoh dog had not It Our iCITY HAPPENINGS J To make our BAKESTUFFS as wholesome as they can be made.
