team was proceeding down Main the
horses became frightened and started on
a full run, and in turning the corner at
the lower end of the street. the wagon
was upset, and men, bundles and barrels
were all dumped out and got considerably
mixed up, but fortunately the men were
all well filed with that which cheers,

grain, was coming up the hill 20 the cor
