Primmer and Mr.. William Rlttenhouse
were returning from Lambertville they
met with an accident which might have
proved very serious, but did not, owing to

that while they were crossing Alexauken
bridge some of the harness broke and
away went the horse on dead run up
the road. Mr.. w. says be would have
jumped out, but it was covered wagon
curtains strapped down. The horse could
not be stopped until they reached Jacob

Mason's catch last summer.
