on Friday noon, when Charles Cope

nearly all frightened horses take. This
time the team struck a stout hitching
post and the iron rail, breaking the
post off and tearing out the rail and |
piling the horses up on the sidewalk
and verandah, the end of the sled pole
not being six inches from the large |
plate glass window pane. One of
the horses appeared to be quite badly
hurt, but without broken legs or ribs.
