Late Sunday night there came near being
q fatal accident on Gravel Hill. Charles
Hanke, who keeps saloon on the corner
OF Belmont and Bridge streets, went with
his wife and four children out riding in q
spring wagon. When they were returning
about II O'clock, they were driving along
right lively until they reached a lamp post
at Councilman Reeds house, on the river
road. The horse was off the road and the
wagon struck the lamp post. This frighten-
ed the horse so that he began to back, and
continued until he had put the wagon and
all Of the occupants over the steep embank-
ment. The wagon rolled down to the c.
& P. railroad track, spilling the
occupants at intervals for about forty feet.
Mrs. Hanke was hurt worst. Some of her
ribs were broken and she was bruised badly
about the stomach, either by the horse
trsmping on her, or by the wagon running
over her. One of Mr.. Hanke's little boys
got black eye and another one a slight
bruise On the side of the head, while his
little girl escaped with only some scratches
from the bushes on the bank. Another
boy named Gachter in the wagon jumped
out and escaped without any injury. II
was very narrow escape for all Of them,
and 1t seems miraculous that they escaped
without greater injury, as the bank is very
steep at that point and is forty or fifty feet
high. The wagon rolled to the bottom and
was completely demolished.
