The Capital Evening Journal January 1, 1890
This afternoon about 11 o'clock, John Wright's delivery team escaped from the 
driver while on Ferry street, and took quite a lively run down Commercial 
street. Two Journal reporters succeeded in stopping them at the ambankment on 
Commercial street near the approach of the North Salem bridge, after the team 
had wound around a tree several times. No damage was done, but it was a narrow 
escape.The driver was thrown out into a pond of water as the tem started and 
got quite a soaking. The excitement along the course run by the team was 
considerable. It is surmised that the driver was celebrating the New Rear to 
some extent or he would not have gone overboard.
