A Narrow Escape,

Last Saturday afternoon, about O'Clock, as
one of the wagons of the Kennebec Ice Com
pany was passing in front of the City Hall,
the driver, Mr.. James T. Garner, missed his
footing and fell under the wheels. Mr.. Gar
ner was dragged for half dozen rods and his
clothing literally torn from him. He had the
presence of mind to let go the reins of the
horses, and they stopped upon the accustomed
signal. Mr.. Garner was severely hurt and
bruised about the left hip and abdomen, and
escaped from certain death by his presence of
mind in letting loose the reins of the horses,
otherwise the heavily laden wagon would have
passed over his groins. As it is his injuries
are serious
