buggy ride, two dogs jumped up

became unmanagable and raj,

the anip,al could not be controlled,
jumped out of the buggy, i'll order
to catch him by the birdie bit and
if possible check his impetuous
onward rush, but he was thrown
to the ground and run over by the
wheels, receiving painful, but not
serious injuries. Mrs. Coin was
thrown from the buggy, both
wheels passing over her body, but
she escaped with only severe con.
tusious. Strange to say, the horse
was a family animal and one of the
gentlest and most docile ever
hitched to harness, never having
been guilty of any attempted esca'
pade before.
