siderably damaged and spoke broken
in each OF the others. Mr.. Blair injured
his hip and shoulder slightly and had
his knee bruised considerably. He is,
however, all right now. He made very
narrow escape with his life, and may

with such slight injuries. On the run

on his side considerable distance down
the street before he regsined his feet,
The animal was considerablybruised.
AN UPSET. The job wagon owned by
"Alex, the Frenchman. was being drawn

found that he had escaped any serious
injuries, having only sustained some
bruises. The cart was quickly righted
and business proceeded with as usual.
