Tom Tanner’s Team Make Trouble.

Tom Tanner’s team of Texans took a tarnal tantrum Sunday and broke Tom’s spring wagon into smithereens and for a short time endangered the lives of himself, wife and daughter family were on their way from cfifford to visit relatives in south and when near the Kennedy school bouse, a single tree down behind one of the horses, letting the tongue down. The horses lunged forward and started out on a dead run. The tongue, soon took lodgment in the bank on the road side and a general wreck foHowed, but-for-tunately resulted in no injuries to the passengers. The team ran about a half mile farther and waited for Tom to catch up. He borrowed another buggy and continued on his journey.
