MAIL CARRIER DROWNED AND TEAM LOST!
"A rumor was prevalent on Saturday, that
the mail sleigh which was to have arrived on
Friday, had sunk in the river what river2)
on its way up, and was lost. We could trace
it to no reliable source, and concluded that
it was lO-ax.
P. S. Since the above was in type, we
learn from the driver of the stage which ar
rived last night, that the rumor is really
true. The driver of the stage which preceded
him, was drowned, together with two horses
while attempting to cross the White Water
or Minnesota River, this side of Winona,-
no mail was lost, however.
That stream was swollen, and the ice
weakened by freshets. The driver of last
nights stage was compelled to wade over
waist deep, and the mall was carried over by
two persons in skift, at cost of $50. Two
tons of paper mail remained behind.
