The horses ran about a half mrle, ending up at the Weidstrand place, where they became entangled in a cultivator in the field, throwing one of the horses and overturning tl\e buggy, throwing the boy out un injured, and were caught by the men of the farm before they could do further harm. Besides breaking a double-tree and delaying the minister from his appointment a few minutes, all matters came out well. But Rev. McEwen will not get relief from his overcharged feelings and fearful alarm for many a day. A Good But Cheap Daily Paper.
