vas not considered unsafe, and IL the
work. had been done last week bad acci-
lent would have been prevented. The !
ligh water and frozen ground, however, |
work impossible before, and as
matters now stand there will probably be t
N expensive bill for the town to pay. '
donday forenoon Henry Clark was draw
uB n iuEGt- uOAHt AbaN ia a4AtAAAiN ~ MS n
arm and had nearly crossed the bridge :
yhen the three stringers gave way at one
nd, letting the load into the brook. The
eading horse had left the bridge but the 4
weight drew him down with the rest. One y
4 the span was killed and the other in. 5
ured. The leader, however, was not hurt. h
ir. Clark was thrown some distance and a
nto the water and doubtless owes his life &
o the fact that his seat had been placed 9
N top of the load instead OF directly in 4
ront and behind the horses. His injury
onsisted of a lame side. Cornelius Pettis
appened to be not far behind with
cam and obtained help Immediately.
