fulness of the hOrses) very serious ac-
cident, last Sunday evening. 1t was in
this wise. Quite prominent gentleman
from Abilene and young lady of Sail
IA were dissipating in pleasant even
ing ride. They were riding at the rate
of gentle walk. They are coming
down Eighth street, nearing the yawn-
ing chaSm which silently awaits its in
nOcent victims. They have reached
the gaping gorge, the horses hesitate.

impending danger, urged them on. Now
a jump and they are hanging mid-air
over the perilous abyss-a sunken wat
er-wOrks ditch. Let us here draw the
veil and conclude by informing our
readers that the only injury was a mis-
placed arm and the ditch the ''spOiler'
of most interesting tete-d-tete.-Salina
