PASSENGERS FRIGHTENED.
The o'clock car out Of Spencer, in
charge of Motorman Sweet and Con-
ductor Morton, was bowling along UP
the hill in front of Prospect farm, this
evening, when suddenly the car gave
| jolt and the body of the car, containing
full equipment of frightened pas
sengers, rolled into the middle of the
road. On examination nothing was
| found which looked as though it would
throw the wheels off, and it was de-
cided that some heavy wagon has
thrown up dirt on the track, which
! froze as hard as the rail, or that the
rail was defective.
The passeng, rs took the next car
which came from Leicester. A wrecking
car soon pulled the trucks on to the
rails, and it was found nothing but
| the fender was smashed.
