Last Thursday Mrs. G. 7. Gerbing
was driving along the road two miles
east of town accompanied by her two
year-old granddaughter. The whistle Of
of q passing train frightened the horse
and he ran away. He jumped seven

Gerbing was thrown over the fence and
alighted on her head. Although badly
bruised she suffered remarkably little
considering the nature of her fall. The
babe was thrown out but not injured.
Mrs. Gerbing and those who saw the af-
fair say that there was no reason for the
engineer sounding the whistle at that
time, and that the whistling seemed to
be malicious.
