WAGON RUNS AWAY!!
While hauling a load of bark
up Fourth street last Saturday
mowing Gorge Altree, who
anves tor Billy Graham, had a
peculiar runaway. As he was
neartng the top of the hill, by
Ira Wade's place, the wagon
hammar worked out, allowing
the double-trees to come loose.
The wagon released from the
horseD started on a mad rush
down the hill. George sent out
the "S. O. S." and jumped for
safety. After attaining a good
lively speed the wagon slewed
out of the road, cramped short
ly around, broke off a front
wheel, and stopped, and stood
patiently waiting while George
approached and caught it.
