RUNAWAYS

      Chester Fisk, of Sheridan Township, visited our village on Saturday, astride a young horse. Reaching town he hitched his horse to a post and left him while he transacted some business with our merchants. Ere long his nag was seen dashing through the streets at a rate of speed which showed that said horse had no regard for Dexter's reputation. Mr. Fisk walked home, but his steed had anticipated him.

      On Wednesday Aleck Schmahl was seen driving through town at a higher rate of speed than is allowed by our municipal code. The horse had been affected with the epizootic and deemed a little fun no impropriety. But Aleck held fast to the ribbons, and after numerous narrow escapes from dire disaster succeeded in getting control of the animal before any damage had been done.
