A LIVELY COLLISION.

There was collision on our main street the other evening. Result, two Indian women badly scared, one wheel smash ed and driver of generous proportions landed at the heels of his horse If the horse had not been well broken there is no question that it's driver would have had something more to complain of than sore muscles and aching bones. Moral It IS dangerous to drive fast in the dark and an equally dangerous thing to be on the wrong side of the street. Our streets ought not to be used for a racing track and our sidewalks belong to pedestrians, not bicyclists. By the way, we consider it the height of impudence for a cyclist to sound his warning bell when riding on the sidewalk. We understand it is some times done.

The proper thing is to have rack made on purpose. It will more than pay it's own expense in the better condition the animals will ar rive in.
