One evening last week Mrs. John r.
Donehoo, while driving from Fairview
place, to Cumberland, to meet her hus-

came near resulting very seriously. The
horse she was driving has always been con.
sidered very quiet one, but on this occa-

at frightful speed, she and her little girl
who accompanied her were thrown out,
happily escaping any serious injury. The
buggy was badly smashed up.
