Friday, 9-9-1910, The Otoe Union:

A.J. Callaway leased his hotel at Douglas to a Mr. Morton from

Cook. "Earl and Frank Fey had quite a lively runaway Sunday night.

The lines came loose from the bits, Earl jumped out, but Frank

climbed over the dashboard and onto the horses back and got hold

of the bridle reign and stopped it before any serious damage

was done."
