Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 January 1911 — A SHORT BUT LIVELY RUNAWAY. [ARTICLE]

A SHORT BUT LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Roth Bros, team of horses took it into their heads to make a quick get-away Tuesday afternoon from the alley in the rear of the butcher shop, and they ran west at breakneck speed, crossing Van Rensselaer street and dashing through the alley north of The Democrat office, taking off a part of the corner wall of Gwin & Watson’s plumbing shop, overturning the latter’s pump rack and a big galvanized water tank, finally coming to a stop in the rear of Nowels restaurant. No particular damage was done, to wagon or team.
