Last Saturday w. F. Kelley sent
his delivery team, consisting of pung
sleigh with Henry johnson and Elmer
King for motive power, to the depot
after goods. They succeeded in
loading one barrel of granulated SUI
gar, one barrel of sulphur and one of
pickles and started for the store.
, Everything worked well until they
reached the railroad crossing which
was bare. Here they came to a stop,
, with all the pulling and hauling their
united strength could muster they
could not prevail on that sleigh to
move one inch. About this time the
through freight put in its appearance
scattering pung and contents in all
directions. The pickles and part of
the sulphur were saved and two
slaves of the sugar barrel were found,
the sugar was all lost and the sleigh
was a total wreck. Elmer was asked
what direction the sleigh took when
n
''By funder! that sleigh went up in
the air clear to the top of the smocb
stack and stove it in mor'en fousand
pieces" Kelley estimates his loss
at S50.-Norh Star.
