come to what is known as the Sam Bug
hill, near Mr.. Watts's, knowing that
the mule was Of Il runaway disposition,
Mrs. Hunter asked the boy to stop,
that she could get out and walk down
the hill. The hoy called to the mule
to stop, in order to let Mrs. Hunter
get out but just at that moment the
mule started of in full speed. Mrs.

sist in bringing the mule under control,
thus drawing it to the left. 1t ran
across Il small bridge over u side ditch
