 Mir. Clarks team was caught in a pocket, and in a moment the mail wagon and horse had crashed into it. Both horses were thrown, and MT. Clark and Mir. Gallagher were pitched into the heap. It appeared for a mo- ment as if they would be seriously hurt, but luckily both escaped with few bruises. The horses were not injured. MT.
