After delivering his freight and pas sengers last Saturday evening, Mr. Pratt Root was turning his spirited stage hort.es In the street by James Uryant's residence when thrleather on tho end of the ueckyoko broke and allowed al-lowed tho tongue of the vehicle to drop. Instantly the horses dashed away with Mr. Hoot clinging to the Hdcb desperately, desper-ately, but ineffectually. A man on the street, who saw htm go by, ahouteil to ihlm. to Jump, but Vrattdld not wo.lijn Yta't?l"??auv TPSflgal AUcr'ratii a ilhortdii.tRDw V t (p wheels c4?ein'contabtiiritli i nlo'plHiiica pf u culvert and overysnokc was torn out in a twinkling. The team continued on and into u ditch, the driver driv-er was thrown out an 1 dragged several feet when tho linos were turn from his hands, and tho horses had things their own way till they got to the City hall where Courad llaight aud one or two other young men took a bund aud drought them to a halt. Mr. Root's escape es-cape without serious injury is almost uiiiiiculous, and the faet that tho ton-ue ton-ue of the buggy was. down during the fiitlre trip detracts nothing from the iinuigene&s of the escape. |
