There came near being a disastrous runaway in the north part of town one day last week. Charles Delaughter was coming home from Stephen Harter’s funeral with a wagon load of people when his team was frightened at some bicycles in the road and tore loose from the wagon, breaking the doubletree and harness. Fortunately no one was hurt The bicycles were ridden by Chlor Snideman and a boy by name of Peabody. There is a story out that the boys ran into the team but they claim that as they passed by on their wheels the horses jumped and broke a line which rendered them unmanageable. Be it as it may It is a well recognized fact that horses scare at bicycles and persons riding them should exercise much caution in riding around where there are horses.
