While in Preble Tuesday afternoon. Noah Frauhiger witnesed an exciting runaway, which ocurred there. A horse which had been driven by Edward Luttman, of Sluigls, Mich., a son of the former store owner in Macley, broke loose from a hitch rack in Preble and ran for some little distance. Mr. Luttman made an effort to get in the buggy which had a storm front on it, but as he was ready to get in the horse made a turn, with the result that rhe rig w as thrown over on Mr. Luttman. After being dragged for nearly a hundred feet, the horse ran into a-wire fence and was stopped. The buggy was demolished, but the only injury Mr. Luttman received was a bad scratch on one hand. His clothes were torn from head to foot, and a new derby hat was knocked full of holes. He considers himself fortunate in esetping with such slight injuies, considering the seriousness of the mix-up.—Bluffton Banner.

1 !■■■! —■■ .11 ■■■■ GRAND LARCENY 1 J - -- ! J Sheriff' Durkin and Marshal Humphrey of Celina Arrest Harl Smith. r " A BERNE MAN I e He Took His Motorcycle 0 and Auto After They i- 7 Were Attached. e Sheriff Durkin returned yesterday i afternoon late from Berne, where he t had gone to meet Marshal Humphrey of Celina, to arrest Harl Smith, a well known Berne young man, on the n charge of grand larceny. The charge r grew out of the taking by Smith of i his motorcycle and automobile after t they had been attached by the Celina j officials, about two months ago. le seems that Smith had been in that vicinity and his machines frightened a i horse, the owner of which began suit, which resulted in the attaching of the ; machines, which Smith thereafter took I 0 0 without authority. Word was sent to Sheriff Durkin some time ago to arrest Smith, but he did not do so as no extradition papers had been gotten . out. When these came Wednesday, I I he went to Berne to help the Ohio man I 3 1 in the arrest.
