 As Mrs Barnes and son were driving through the Hollow, Monday, the hold back strap gave out, letting one of the shafts drop down. The horse began to kick and Herbert lost one of the lines. The spirited colt ran and, when opposite Stephen Sanford's, came in contact with his iron fence, knocking out several pick cts and dumping the occupants of the wagon into the road. The colt ran as far as Turney Sanford's. Fortunately, Mrs Barnes and Herbert were uninjured and little damage was done to the wagon. The horse was cut and somewhat bruised by the fence, but, with care, will be all right in short time. It was a narrow escape. The accident occurred in the same spot where son of Jed Hawley was killed, some years ago and Mrs Flaw ley and another son were severely injur- ed by being thrown out of wagon.
 This makes the third time that MT San- ford's iron fence has been run into. A few more such accidents and there will not be much of it left. It was nice looking fence when first made, but looks sadly demoralized.
