walking behind his load when his

Attempting to catch them he slipped
on the ice beside the road and fell in
such way that the loaded wagon
passed over both legs above the
knees, but strange to say broke no
bones. The horses, however, were
left to follow their own sweet will,
which resulted in some pretty widely

wagon. However, Mr.. Peckham
