What might have proved a fatal acci
dent occurred yesterday. While driving
up from the railroad station a hors,
driven by Thomas Pickering becam,
| frightened at the Hotel Richardson hack
and started to run down Loock-
erman street Mr.. Pickering, who,
It is supposed, was trying tC
get out back, was thrown out
and dragged some distance, sustaining
severe injuries on the arm and leg. The
horse was finally stopped near the post
office, but not until 1t was somewhat in
jured. The buggy was damaged also
and a set of new harness had to be bought
for his horseship.
A case Of loves labor lost has come
to light in an experience Of John Massey

Massey, with canine friend, recently tool
a walk ia the woods. The animal run (
splinter in his foot, and Mr.. Massey
kind-hearted man that he is, attempted
to relieve the suffering of the dog. But
his dog ship refused to be relieved. Days
passed on. That splinter weighed heav-
lily on Mr.. Masseys mind. Every bit oi
a howl from his canine friend lacerateC
his bosom like a knife, and wheT
a friend called to see him
he poured into his ears thu
sorrowful tale of the dog and the splin
ter. The friend was equal to the emer
gency. By his advice the dog was put il
bag. The dog resented this treatment
as any well-trRined dog with any sens
of his own dignity would. AS Mr.. Mas
sey and his friend began operations ol
the one foot that was allowed to protrud
from the bag. the dog wriggled ant
twisted and squirmed until he got IL
such a position as to give Mr.. Massey
hand real hard bite. Probably he in

intention, good or bad, Mr.. Masse.
