Athens Banner: Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock the IRE bell rang, the alarm
coming in from box 49,, at the Office of
the Lyndon Manufacturing Company The
new hose wagon at Hope han was driven
up Washington street at full speed, and
was dashing along at q galop when it
passed the new opera house. Quite a
crowd noticed the flying wagon as it went
by like 1t had been that of a cannon, and
were Mortified to see the Pioneer Hook
ana Ladder trucks wheel across Wash
ington street directly in front OF the
hose wagon. The crowd with bated breath
awaited what seemed to be an inevitable
accident frought with great danger to
both men and horses on the hose wagon.
A moment and then came the crash as
the two wagons came together. Then the
hook anG ladder trucks dashed on down
Jackson street Luckily, the accident
did not prove to be a serious one, The
tongue of the hose wagon struck the
rear wheels of the trucks with such force
as TO shatter it into splinters, but the
horses were thrown under the big ladder
that projects from the hook and ladder
trucks, and were not badly hurt Two
Of the men on the hose wagon were iorked
off by the sudden shock, and were slightly
bruised. It was a narrow escape, for had
the hose wagon struck the trucks full In
the middle, there would have been a ter
rible smashup. The fire was at the res
idence Of John o. Cooper, on Dougherty
street. IL was simply the burning out
Of q chimney, and had been eNUnguished
by the time the department reached the
scene.
