A horse which had not been thoroughly broken into harness was led about on Market street, at the Lovejoy corner, by a Japanese. The rope, instead of being lied to th> bridle, was tied to the neck. The horse was harnessed to a two-wheel-ed vehicle and. being new in harness, took fright at something. The horse tan on to the sidewalk on Marktt street, and kep' on the sidewalk for a distance r.f alumt 100 yards. Mrs. Wheeler was just going home with her children when. like a flash cf lightning, tne horse and vehicle pa c;, :d her at Hoon Wo’s store. She j’l-t managed to grab one of her ohildren. and place the child on the vert.nda of Hoon Wo’s store.

At the comer of the street, where th, toad Lads to the mill. iue buggy came in contact with a hitching post, which stopped the horse. The vehicle looked like a pile of wood. When th* horse took fright at the Lovejoy corner, the Japanese owner tried to hold on to the horse, and for some little distance the Japanese was dragged along, the result being a few scratches on his body. Runaways have been quite frequent lately, and a few of them have resulted fatally.

Lately, however. the authorities have taken more nr autions. and licenses are not issued as freely as they were before. Wailuku Choral Society.
