Neyers, owner and driver Of the Water
ford stage, stopped at the Lake office to
exchange the mail. "A he returned TO
the coach and threw the mail bag TO the
place under the seat, the near horse
caught his bride under the yoke and
removed IL, at which he became fright
ened, when both horses started on the
run for the village, n distance OF one and
one-balf miles. The king bolt WAS
thrown out as the coach struck pile OF
wood, which dropped the weight OF the
coach on 10 the circle, thereby rendering
II difficult TO turn the stage quickly, a
fact that probably saved the passengers
serious injury. After making the short
turns ut Water and Bridge Streets and
Bridge and Main Streets, the pole OF the
cosch struck against the large elm tree
Ia front OF w. G. Ieavitt's store.
Both horses were thrown down, one on
each side Of the tree. The following
