A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
A Bad Mixup on Bridge. Saturday Forenoon
Causes But Small Damage.

There was bad miXup on the
bridge. Saturday forenoon. but fortu-
nately no one was injured. although il
must he. Mrs. Judson Robbins Of Boil
ton hill. was driving into the city, ac-
ccmpanied by boy. Eddie Jenness. A
team was standing on the east end of
the bridge and just as Mrs. Robbins
approached. an express team came
round the corner with a rattle and Il
bang such as these heavy carts al
ways make. and frightened her horse,
causing him To jump so suddenly that
she could not control him and the
wagon collided with the one standing
on the end of the bridge, upsetting Mrs.
Robbins wagon and throwing out her
and the boy.
Mrs Robbins went under the wagon
but miracuously escaped without seri-
Gus injury, although her shoulder was
somewhat wrenched and bruised. The
boy received cut on the head, but
not very bad one. Both We're COW
cred with mud from head to foot and
thoroughly frightened. They We're
taken in and cleaned up and We're able
to complete their business.
The horse had meanwhile run across
the bridge and up over the hill to
Crosby street, where he stopped. The
damage to the wagon was broken
thilI, crossbar and dasher. The horse
was uninjured. No one can be blamed
for the accident and it is very fortu-
nate indeed that no more serious in
Jury was done.
