April 27, 2007 Page 3 A HORSE STAMPEDE ON UNION STREET A LIVELY RUNAWAY - There was a lively runaway this morning that came near getting to be an epidemic. Sandoz' team; the wagon loaded with stable refuse, started the fun on Union street. As they came up the street Keller's horse hitched to a light hack, snuffed danger and struck out ahead of them. Turning up Third street at the courthouse corner they started Bob Hood, who was driving up that thoroughfare, and he hearing a smash-up put the buckskin to his nags and tried to run ahead of the storm. Up Third they came at break-neck speed, and it was hard to tell for awhile which was going to come in ahead, but Hood side tracked himself the first opportunity, while the Keller horse getting all he wanted, was easily caught, but the Sandoz team were still headed towards Dufur and going faster than a flying machine when last they were seen.
