L. B. Reno was in the city from Chancethis week. "My house has been turnedinto a hospital for a week or more,"said he Tuesday. "Last week's runawayaccident, in which three young ladieswere hurt, occurred in front of my place

and they were brought to my house for

care. Miss Harkins and Mrs. Harkinswere so badly injured that they did not

regain consciousness until late the night

of the runaway and we thought forawhile that both of them were going todie. In giving the account of the acci-

dent the papers were slightly misin-

formed as to how it occurred. It would

appear from these accounts that Mr.Harkins had allowed the ladies to drive

a skittish team down from the mountain,when in fact there was a man holdingthe lines when the runaway started. The

team was standing in front of the post-

office et Chance. The ring of the bridle

upon one of the horses got over the

tongue and the horse pulled the bridleclear off. Mrs. Harkins and CarolineHarkins jumped after the runaways had

gone about two hundred yards. Miss

Mary Harkins remained in the rig untilit was overturned and her leg was brok-en as she fell to the ground." BothMrs. Harkins and Miss Caroline Har-kins have recovered from their shockand injuries about the head, but it willbe several days before Miss Mary Har-kins is convalescent.
