Transcriber's Note: I've refrained from copying articles that do not include 
names of residents, some of the colloquial terms we'll have to guess at the
meaning of, present day capitals used on certain words were not used then.
Fraternity names and organizations I am not familiar with. Advertisements 
placed in the newspaper were coded for easy identification in later issues.

    Mr. W. Pashek of Fifteen Mile had stopped his team yesterday afternoon in 
front of Mr. Vogt's store, and had just got out of his wagon, when a locomotive
passing across Washington street whistled. This frightened the horses, and they
turned sharp around cramping the wagon and breaking the tongue. Before 
Mr. Pashek could catch them they had got under headway; turning the corner at 
the CHRONICLE office they ran up Second street to Brooks & Beers where they
stopped. There were forty dozen eggs in a box in the wagon when the team started,
but when Mr. Pashek examined their remains, he smiled and felt grateful that eggs
are only worth fifteen cents a dozen. The horses were uninjured and ten dollars
will cover the entire loss.
