will not soon forget. They had been
spending a few hours in L'Anse,
and about 10 o'clock started to
drive to Baraga. 1t was very dark,
and when crossing the bridge over
Fall river, drove the horse over the
edge, and all hands plunged into
the water, which is about seven
feet in depth. The boys lost no
time in demonstrating that they
had good lungs, which resulted in

remained over night at the Thomas
House, and the horse was properly
cared for. In the morning they re-
turned home, all sad, but wiser.
