S. R. Drury and S. w. Randall, started
from this place, on the ice, for Drury's
Landing, four miles from here, on the H.

before they got into an air hole. Mr.. R.,
who was on the lookout for these places,
jumped from the buggy as soon as the fore
legs Of the horse were in the water, which
saved him, perhaps, from a premature
grave. Mr. D., who was not quite so
fortunate, was carried along with the horse

turning over, and he wrapped up in a
buffalo robe. 1t was with great difficulty
