REMARKABLE Observation-Disclosures morn
ing Mr. Hiram Pierce harnessed his horse with
the intention of going out of town short dis
lance. Contrary to his usual custom he used
a harness without binders, and his horse took
fright OH North street. The terrified beast
scrambled up an embankment fourteen feet
high dragging wagon and driver after him, and
tumbled down nearly thirty feet on the other
side, where excavations had been made. The
carriage was smashed to splnters, but, strange
to say, Mr.. Pierce was not injured in the least.
The horse freed himself lfrom the wreck and
made his way home, where he arrived safe and
sound, apparently unhurt by his escapade.
