A LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Clyde Randle’s sorrel team being left—for a moment unattended on the street Monday afternoon, took it into their heads to take a hike, and they ran north on Van Rensselaer street with the top buggy to which they were hitched hitting only the high places. At the corner by John Eger’s residence they attempted to turn west, but were going too fast to make the turn, and ran up on the cement walk, jumped the iron fence, leaving the buggy on its side lying on the walk, and ran through John’s yard back of Joe Larsh’s . residence, where the fence stopped them. The team was unhurt and the buggy not badly damaged.
