Bednarski brothers, meat dealers and liverymen at Wyoming having troubles of their own with their horses these days. They are possessed of a team which seems to take fright at every passing automobile. Two weeks ago the animals ran away while drawing a coach at a wedding in this city and crashed into the plate glass front of H. H.

Tinker's pharmacy. One of the horses was quite badly cut up and has not been in use since that time. The firm looks after the sprinkling business for Wyoming borough and this morning a team drawing the sprinkler ran away. The team was composed of one of the horses that (figured in the Pittston runaway and another horse that has been working double with it since that time. As the sprinkling wagon was being filled at the plug at the corner of Fourth street and Wyoming avenue about 11 o'clock this morning a passing automobile scared the animals.

The driver, Peter Bednarski, was on the ground near the plug and could not control the horses, which dashed down Wyoming avenue at a great rate of speed. Fortunately a detail from the State Constabulary, composed of Sergeant Boyd nnd Privates Metcalf and Booth, were coming up the street and, after considerable difficulty, succeeded in bringing the frightened horses to a stop. Neither the wagon nor the horses were injured. Bednarski was also in charge of the team when it ran away here. J.
