Chesterton Tribune - April 29, 1886 cont
A Bad Runaway
Michigan City Dispatch
Monday, shortly before noon, a team of horses belonging to a farmer named
Babcock, who resides near Chesterton, while being driven north on Wabash
street to Smith, Wells & Co's lumber yard, became frightened at the bell on
a bakers wagon passing by at the time, and breaking away from the driver,
dashed down the street. They tore up shade trees in front of F. G. H
Carsten's residence, and dashed down away on Sixth, toward Franklin street.
They ran against a tree opposite the Congregational church, at the same time
knocking down a lady named Mrs. Snyder, who was on her way home.
Fortunately the lady was not seriously injured, although she suffered from
fright. The horses became entangled in the harness about the tree and were
captured without doing further damage. The team returned home later in the
day with a load of lumber.

We see that the correspondent of the Westville Indicator says that a Laporte
County boy would soon take away one of the Jackson Center fair ones. This is
a mistake. It is a Porter-county boy.
Frank Brown says he is tired of living the life of a bachelor and that he
will soon have a cook.
A certain person that lives not more than thousand miles from the Center is
very much interested in talking about the ladies. He had better let up or
he will get into trouble.
