An exciting runaway took place near the Schlickman feed barn this m"rning at 7:45 when the horse driven bj’ Roy Jahn, a son of Martin Jahn o f Kirkland township, took fright at A. Van Camp’s automobile. The horse turned at the corner of Third and Monroe, upsetting the buggy and throwing the boy against a telephone pole and injuring him abcut the head and shoulders, but not seriously. The buggy was smashed to pieces but the horse was unhurt. It is thought nothing serious will result to the young man. The crooks who have been following the Taft special train evidently are no nf persons. Sheriff Mahoney, Huntington, well known here, was touched for $65 while at Marion Friday. It is very prcbable that the ! crooks did not know that they were taking money from the pockets of a I sheriff, but nevertheless they got the money and made their getaway. W. H. Shideler, ex-county clerk of Hunt- i ingten county, was also touched. If any of the Bluffton faithful who ati tended the meeting were touched they have kept the matter quiet Another sarcastic part of the matter is the fact that nearly all of the men who lest money were republicans. i I ‘‘The automobile has surely been placed to no mere ironical purpose than that which we herewith illustrate. A French manufacturer has devised * a conveyance which is actually intended for the transnortation of the very animals which the automobile is Intended to sunnlant. Seriously considered the vehicle has much to commend it. As the reader no doubt suspects. it is primarily designed for the conveyance of valuable racing horses, that cannot be intrusted to a railway without some anxiety. An accident might mean a heavy finacial less to s the owner of a horse. In an automobile such as that herewith illustrated a thoroughbred can be transported with considerable safety, and besides, with far more convenience and comfort. The interior of the vehicle is fitted up as a stable with all the requisites to which the pampered 'horse is accustomed.

He wants ( this district to roll up an old fashioned majority for Mr. Hawkins that he may help hold up the hands of W. H. Taft and closed by saying that he was sorry he couldn’t stay longer to answer questions. “Goodbye, good luck, till I I come again, and then I will stay longer if you want me to.” He spent about five minutes in handshaking and was then conveyed to the Clover Leaf, i where he boarded his special car for | Bluffton, where he spoke twenty mia- I utes. His prorwd (here was a very I good one for the hour and considerable | enthusiasm was displayed.
