and no possible means OF preventing
it, told his wife to jump out of the
buggy, which she did, with the child,
about nine months old, in her arms.
Mr.. Peck remained in the buggy few
moments, cndeavoring to manage the
horses, but finding it impossible, he
sprang out and went back to his wife
and child. He picked up his child,
