Runaway Friday
Consternation, bi
tie Damage.
The demands of theVefi dents of both
sides of .the river for some means, of
crossing has become so great that a
large flat boat has been built for their ac
commodation on the Cairo'road.
It has not yet been decided whether
the ruined Jones bridge will be replaced
by a steel or wooden structure. In
either case, there will elapse at least
several'weeks before the bridge is finish
ed. It has been deemed advisable there
fore to provide a temporary means of
crossing at the place where the bridge
formerly stood. The flat boat is a
40 foot one, and will answer the pur
pose of the bridge as well as any substi
tute could answer it.
The river has remained so high that,
it has as yet been impossible to accom
plish much toward repairing the bridges
over it. The time has accordingly been
largely given over to the repair of the
smaller Abridges throughout the county.
The first work will be on the Walden
bridge in the lower part of . the county.
A Times-Enterprise representative
had the pleasure of a drive through the
country with Capt. E.< M. Smith, chair
man of the board of county commission
ers, and Mr. R. Thomas, recently.
Capt. Smith is very anxious to pnt the
roads in good condition as soon as possi
ble, and is giving the work his personal
attention. A force of men have been at
work for several days on the road lead
ing to Miller’s Spring, and have worked
more than ^mil6 of it, near the city.
The work is under, the direction of
Road Overseer Gandy and has been
done quickly and well. The roads
all over the country will be put in shape
as fast as men and energy can do so.
There is a grain of comfort ;for sports
men in Mr. Thomas’ philosophical obser
vation, that had the flood come in June
i* would have killed all the birds in ad
dition to the other havoc wrought. _
’ The river lias subsided to almost its
normal proportions, and bridge work
will also be pushed. »
About two o’clock Friday After-
noon one of Captain Whitaker's hones,
■while hitched to a one seated snrry, be
came frightened add took a wild ran
for life—htunan life.
The excitement started on lower Jaek-
ton St., where the hone didn’t like the
.proximity of an engine which had been
ran np too close to him. He ran madly
op Jackson street, turning at Broad.
The horse was making for home in the
biggest hurry he ever saw, and he
would have soon been there had he not
encountered the hindrance of a
with the conveyance of Dr. Montgom
ery of Merrillville. The negro who was
driving him was thrown out but landed
upon his head and was not injured.
The delay was only very temporary,
however, for leaving bis burden behind
him the horse still continued his
ran, and was not stopped until he reach
ed the proxmity of Mr." ’Whitaker’s
stable.

If he had not broken a part of
his harness in making the turn- into
Broad street there might even now be
a different story to tell. The tact of
the harness being thus weakened en
abled the horse to break loose from the
buggy when the collision ,occiiiTed with
a great deal more ease and less ado than
would otherwise have been possible.
Dr. Montgomery was in his buggy at
the time the runaway hit him, and for
about five minutes lie had to pnt np one
,of the gamest fights of his life to keep
his own horse from running away. His
steed danced almost all over the block
before he could be calmed, and under
the hands of any but a very experienced
person, would most certainly have made
away and doubled the damage.
The already stirring scene was made
even more so by the absentmindedness
of a third party. This third party was
a man from out in the country near
Thomasville, who allowed himself to
become so rapt in the things that were
going on around him during these stren
uous times that he failed to keep tab on
his own horse and he allowed him to lock
the wheels of his wagon with those of
Mrs. Jane Mitchell’s boggy. Fortunate
ly both hones were of a smooth temper
ament, and no damage resulted from
the second mix-up.
With from two to three wrecks strewn
in one block at one time and more peo
ple, than a person might have thought
were in town, Broad street presented a
very lively appearance.
It is remarkably fortunate that no
greater damage was wrought.

frequent as marriages in Thomasville.
Sometimes we have a combination into
a runaway marriage. Mr. B. Edwards
purchased a fine horse on Friday and
hitched it to his lanndzy wagon on Sat
urday morning. His driver left the ani
mal unhitched in front of the laundry
and it ran away. It came down- Jack-
son street, turned at Madison and was
stopped in front of Gandy & Mallette’s
stables. The canopy top of the wagon
was bent and battered,, and the tendons
in the horse’s liind feet werfe cut just
below the fetlock joint The injury
was probably caused by his kicking
back and striking the wagon.
