Saturday was day of accidents for N.
Heath. On his milk route he stopped at Geo.
Buffers, when his horse became frightened
and ran away, smashing the milk cart, and
spilling large quantity of milk. He then
took Mr.. Buffers wagon and succeeded in
getting what milk he had left as far as the
creamery door, when the horse again be-
came frightened and took another run, TAX
ing the cross-bar of the wagon but leaving
the milk cans right side up. Fortunately

for home. On reaching the pine woods, he
