A Drunken Drivers Work.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. c. C. Bick-
ford and Mrs. w. W. Burnham of this city were
driving on the shell road. The horse and sleigh
belonged to Mr. L. W. Dyer, father of Mrs. Burn
ham, who resides on the J. b. Coyle estate at
Deering. Some little time ago as the back of the
sleigh was too low for Mrs. Dyer her husband
had back piece added raising the old back to
quite height. While the trio were quietly driv-
along, another horse and Sleigh driven at high
rate of speed, came up behind them and the
driver, who was intoxicated, deliberately drove
into them, If it had not been for the high back
to the Sleigh the thills of the other sleigh would
have gone through Mrs. Bickford and Mrs.
Burnham. AS 1t was, the force of the
collision was so great that Mr.. Bickford's sleigh
was overturned and the occupants thrown out,
the sleighs passing over all three of them.
Mr.. Bickford Immediately made dash for the
drunkard, collared him, and brought him to the
police station in this city. The ladies were taken
into the Coyle place. No bones were broken but
both ladies complained of severe pains in the
side, which may indicate serious internal inju-
