A young man named Greene, who
the past several months has been in
the employ of Haynes, the photo

partnership with Mr.. Fearer here,
and in the future the firm will be

improving if anything upon the ex-

A singular accident occurred
Monday. near the round house in
Breckenridge. w. I. Crafts and Milo
Eaton were driving one Of Julius
Peterson's horses by the embank-
ment at that point where stood the
wrecking car, derrick, ETC., which
makes an unusual appearance, as
compared with cars generally, at
which the horse became frightened
and without much demonstration

The embankment is perfectly per-

the river is some IL or Is feet below
the road bed. The buggy following
the horse over was broken Is pieces
on the ice. Frank Passage, who
saw the whole performance, says the
