AS Fred White and John Amsden were re-
turning from their work on West Hill Tues
day evening with W. l.. Barnes horse and
blackboard, when about % half mile from the
village the horse SHE'D and ran. The wheel
struck stone and threw Mr.. White, the
driver, out, landing him down by the brook,
and the horse got away from him which left
Mr.. Amsden unable to help himself but he
stayed in until they arrived down by the
cheese factory, where the wheels ran upon
the bank throwing him out and upsetting the
wagon. The horse cleared himself from the
wagon about opposite Mrs. Julia Babcock' 8
and was running so fast it could not make the
bank by the river. Mr.. Amsden was hurt so
that he will be laid up for some time but the
prospects are now that his injuries are not
serious. His knee and back were hurt but his
right shoulder was hurt most, as he struck on
that. Mr.. White was not hurt much or the
horse which is wonder. The blackboard will
require some repairs.
