lott of Ayr township, and his man of
work Bivens, had a thrilling exper-
lence during the thunder storm of

wood when a sudden and heavy clap

pins of the front carriage of the wag-

wheels rolled off, leaving the axle

increase of draft that caused the
breaking of the two single trees and
the freeing of two horses from the

wagon whom 1t turned over. An ex

Near Iagsam's lanesthe wagon fell
into a rut and upset Logan came
back, got another wagon, reloaded

last time, soon to be laid to rest in
the cemetery besides the church,

item brief statement NAV be read
of the taking of n horse from Yost
