the loss of his entire team of four horses.
The road crosses the breast of the mill.dam,
which is IL or IS feet high, while al one
point the water in the dam is about as many
fee, deep. The roadway is just wide enough
for single wagon and just as the team had
reached the point where the water is greatest

supposed by the flying spray, and turned
! suddenly into the dam carrying Mr.. Brilliant
and he wagon with them. lIc managed, in

drowned and the wagon with its contents
submerged Some of the animals were quite
valuable and Mr. B;ihart's loss is upwards
six hundred dollars. The bodies Of the
drowned horses were taken from the dam
late Thursday afternoon. Sentinel
