Two young men whose names we
have been unable to learn had q
narrow escape from drowning last
Monday morning. They were COM
ing TO town in hack and attempted
to cross Willow creek just northwest
of our city, which was considerably
swollen from the rain the previous
night. On entering the stream the
horses were soon carried off their feet
and the whole outfit washed down
stream about hundred yards. The
men jumped out and swan ashore and
after several hours of hard work in
the water, succeeded in getting the
horses loose so they could swim out
also. The hack was left until the
creek fell. This is another strong ar
gument that bridge is badly needed
there.
