A work team belonging to Charley Martin ran away Monday afternoon and crashed into a buggy belonging to Water Commlfasioner McBurnie , reducing the vehicle to kindling woo In less time than it takes to tell. Fortunately "Mac" was slsewhere when the accident occurred or he might have been Included In the general smashup. The Martin team which is employed by the Electric Light Company took fright at some thing near the depot while the driv er was attending to something else and shot across town at "express train" speed. When1 the heavy wag on struok the light buggy and crump led it up like card board , theteam of runaways never faltered , but kept on until they reached Mr. Martin's stables where they stopped of their own accord. This Is the same team rv by the way , that nearly caused the death of Earl Cooper soveralweeks ago , by running into him while he was seated on a mowing machine in the middle of the street. Commlssi er McBurnie says although there are no wheels to his buggy to speak of and the body is badly fractured both externally and internally , still he thinks the seat might be utilized for something If only some rcparls were put on it.

The plollmlnary hearing of John Clirlstcrphcrson , the young drug clerk at Calloway , who was charged with manslaughter In connection with the death of Mrs. Etta MOSCH several \vooks ago , was commenced before County Judge Holcomb Tues day moinlng of this week. The hearing lasted nearly two days and attracted more than the usual a- inount of attention , as the court room was crowded during the whole time. Ex-Governor Ilolcomb and County Attorney Gadd conducted th prosecution , while udge.T Homer Sullivan and attorney Mlllard ap peared for the defense. Dr. Davis , of Calloway was put on the stand and testified as to the condition of Mrs. Moses when he was called In attendance. Sam Sterner , a brother of Mrs. Moses , testified that he had gone to the' drug store and asked for cream of tartar for Ills sister , that Chirstorpherscn a lone In the store at the time , gave him what subsequently proved to bo tartar emetic , and that his sister received the poison under the Impression It was cream oftartar. Sterner said he had never heard of tartar emetic before Ills sister was taken ill. Charles Sterner , anothe brother , at whose house Mrs Moses was stay ing at the time of her death , tset- ifled what happened at the house after the poibon had been taken. The testimony cf D. E. Moseshus band of the dead woman , was much the same as that of Charles Stonier. The legal arguments were heard on Wcdnorday and consumed the best part of the day. The prosecution contended that the defendant was in the act of wrong doing when he sold an unlabeled drug that later caused the death of a human being and asked that he be bound over to the district court and stand trial for manslaughter. Judge Ilolcomb in passing upcn the case said he was convinced that the affair was a most deplorable accident with no criminal Intent on the part of the defendant. He accordingly gavn Chrlstorpherson the benefit of any doubt that might exist and dnscharged tlto young man from custody. Judge Kills Chickens.
