belonging to the section boss, Axel Aar-

after six o'clock, Earnest Bowman and
James Landers, who were out driving
with Mr.. j. c.. Bowman's horse and
buggy, were thrown out of the buggy
which was upset by the horses making
a sudden and too sharp turn up River
street as they drove off the river bridge.
Neither of the gentlemen were injured,
but the horse was less fortunate. Becom-
ing frightened at the inverted buggy, evil
IDENTIFY, the horse ran as far as May street
and when caught its right hind leg was
found to be very badly cut, which is sup
posed to have been done by its coming in
contact with the spring of the buggy, and
it is doubtful if the animal is not badly
crippled. The buggy was quite badly
demolished.
