"A span Of horses belonging 10 Mr..
Falardo of the firm Of Falardo & Parkes
was engaged in drawing lumber from the
depot TO the factory at the foot Of the
hill near the bridge. At the time of the
accident the boards were not bound on
the wagon and the road little frozen and
rough which caused them to move on the
wagon fast. AS they were going down the
hill the horses commenced to run and the
boards slipping rendered any efforts to
stop them by the driver unavailing, and
down the hill they went and instead Of
getting on the bridge all right the near
horse went against the end of the siding,
or frame work with such force as not on
iy to throw him down but injured him SO
that he could not stand, and it is quite
doubtful he it ever RECEIVERS so as to be
of any value. 1t seems a wonder that he
was not killed on the spot by the collision
with the bridge. The wagon tongue
must have struck the bridge and lessened
the force Of the conclusion. When the
near horse struck the bridge the other
horse seemed to shoot by and clear from
the wagon, but did not get injured. The
driver and young man or boy was on
the wagon at the time, both of whom were
thrown some ways the boys head struck
the railing to the bridge and was injured
so as to look pretty badly,b but he is on thu
street. The driver was not materially in.

both man and horse was almost remark
able.
