Falmouth, June 25-The dry weather
has spoiled the strawberry crop here, so
the largest berry growers say.
A heavily loaded express wagon owned
by Richards & Co., Of Falmouth, was
capsized and thrown over an embank-

badly frightened runaway horse attached

cleared himself from the harness just as
the wagon went over. 1t landed twenty

it's canvas covered top. Strange to say
nothing but the top was injured, but that
as may be supposed was complete
wreck. The driver has not yet ceased to
thank Providence for his narrow escape.
