The Newport Neaus says: An accident
occurred on Duncan's Island on Monday
last which might have resulted in the
death or serious injury to Mrs. Briner,
daughter and daughter-in-law. They
came to Pines store in a spring wagon
and in turning their horse he backed
over an embankment, throwing the three
ladies to the bottom, and the wagon
and horse on top of them, the horse in
such position that he was unable to
move, which probably saved the lives
of all. Assistance being near soon ex-
tricated the ladies from their perilous po-
sition, and then removing the harness
from the horse, succeeded in getting him
him out, and strange to say all escaped
injury except Miss B., who received a
few scratches by coming in contact with
some briars.
