ODLUM made the same mistake that
Sam Patch did. He should have shot
down to the water like an arrow and cut
it as an arrow would. his feet pointed and
his body rigid; but instead he lost com>
mand of himself and, striking the water
with his flat, limp body, his death was as
certain as it it had been foreordained. II
is very easy to point out how these things
should be done. 1t is more difficult to
observe the directions.

A COLLISION.
Two Vehicles Run Together on the
Boulevard.
Mrs. H. N. Benjamin Painfully Hurt
by the Accident.

Last evening, about 6 O'Clock, while
numerous parties were out driving on the
boulevard, MIR. Clark, a blacksmith and
horse breaker, was there with a long
shafted sulky, breaking a young horse To
harness. About midway of the length of
the drive the horse seemed to become en-
tlrely unmanageable and was taking all
sides of the road. Mr.. Will Swan, who
was ont with a single rig. thought at one
time that Clark's outfit was going to
run into him, sure, and he braced him
self tor the collision. Almost at the mo-
ment when a telescope act seemed inevi-
table, Clark horse went off at another
tangent and in doing so collided with a
carriage in which were Ms. II. n. Ben
jamin, her daughter, Mrs. Weaver, and
child and a little daughter of John Bru-
ner's. The carriage was tipped high
enough to tumble all of the occupants out
but the driver held on to his lines and the
horses did not get away. Mrs. Benjamin
was stricken in the side by one of the
thills of Clark sulky and was picked up
by Mr.. Swan in a i~ainting condition. She
was afterward taken home in Mrs. Hun.
tons carriage and was Immediately at
tended by DR.. Marsten, who thinks that
no bones are broken and that Mrs. b. is
only painfully bruised, and will be well in
a few days.
None Of the other occupants of the car
rage were hurt except Mr.. Burners little
one, who received a slight bruise on the
back of the head. 1t was almost a mira
Gle that some of them were not killed or
crippled.
In this connection it suggested that the
boulevard, where ladies and children drive
every pleasant evening is not the place to
break bronchos-not even to break their
necks.
LATER. Since the above was written
1t has been ascertained tdat Mr.. Bruner $
child was more seriously hurt than was
at first supposed and is now suffering
very severely from the confusion on the
head.
