BACKED OVERHEARD AND DROWNED
Considerable excitement was created on
Reeds wharf early this morning by the
drowning of a horse belonging TO colored
man named William Bland. The horse was
attached TO cart which was being used in
dischargiug cargo Of ice, and after receiv-
ng its load, started from the wharf. but
upon reaching an inclination the weight OF
the cart caused it to start backward, and be-
fore any one could get near enough TO grasp
the bride both horse and cart had made q
retrogr,de plunge into the dock. The
weight of the load so buried the animal in
the water that despite every effort OF the
driver and hystanders it soon drowned.
