ward axle tree broke, letting tho coach
over on its side; the horses -four in num-
ber) became scared, and, of couse, hid
things all their own way. Mrs Marsh was
dragged some distance in the coach, and
when released one wrist was found broken

about her body. She now lies entirely
helpless at the residence OF her mother in
law in Cold Spring
There were nine persons in the coach at
the time Of the accident, and several others
received slight injuries only The horses
and coach were owned and driven by Mr.
Dow, Of Whitewater We hear it minated
that the coach was entirely too light Tor

Palmyra.
Gu Sunday night last Mr.. Frank Wit
mus, living in the east part of this town,
had his house entered and about $500 stolen
He states that the most of the money, $3.50
was deposited in trunk in the chamber.
The trunk he thinks must have been taken
out of the window above, as the window
was raised in the morning, and the trunk
found a. distance from the house relieved
OF it's cash contents. The son had $40 in
his pants pocket which was taken from the
pants in the room where be was sleeping
and the pocket book left in the house.
This is tough thing on Frank as be is an
industrious and hard working man, earn
ing his bread by the sweat of his brow.
No tidings yet as to the whereabouts OF
the perpetrators o. this deed.
