--Fred Carr and W.J. Dodds had a little excitement in the form of a runaway the other day, down at Forest Home. A trace slipped off a single tree and the buggy tongue fell on the ground. The tongue soon stuck deep into the earth and sent Fred and his companion sailing thru space. Neither of them were injured and the buggy and team were not damaged much, altho the team might have been as it broke over about three barb wire fences before they stopped. Fortunately they escaped with scarcely a scratch.
