Gus one. On Twelfth street, as is

almost the entire width of the street
to a depth of four feet. The horse
turned off. of its own accord, to tn
side of the street. but as the road
was rough. Mr.. Cooper started to
drive over the middle of the street
In moment the horse plunged down
the steep bank and the buggy fol-
lowed. the occupants being thrown
out on their heads. Fortunately the
street was thickly covered with sand.
which saved the occupants bones,
although they were all more or less
bruised. and eyes. noses and ears
filled with sand. The horse started
to run. dragging Mr.. Cooper 80 feet.
Help was soon at hand and the buggy
righ,ed, when it was found to be
badly smashed.

invariably takes 60 days from the
time OF the opening of the bids to the

sire to have it put up at once have
