Kirby devoted his entire energy to keep

A SERIES OF mIsHAps.
Numerous Small Accidents Friday. but Lucki-
iy No One Seriously Injured.

Friday is generally considered an I'M
lucky day. and the mishaps that occurred
in Gardiner and vicinity yesterday
among drivers of horses would seem to
bear out the belief. Luckily however
there were no serious injuries inflicted to
man or beast. though it is doubtful if
more involuntary gymnastics on the part
of both steeds and drivers were ever
crowded into a hours than were evil
denced. Friday.
The first case To which the attention Of
the Journal was drawn was that of Mr..
David Ware of Randolph. Mr. Ware
was driving into town, and while coming
down Dearborn hill the breeching broke
or slipped off letting the sleigh forward
upon the horse. The animal became
frightened and ran. throwing Mr.. Ware
from the sleigh and giving him "A thor

ing him. The horse then ran across the
Causeway. and when near the North
end he collided with team driven by
Mrs. Emery WEIGH. Here a bolt came
out and the Ware horse freed himself
and ran to Randolph village, where he
was captured. Mrs. WEIGH was thrown
from her pung. and her horse was some
what cut about the legs. The Ware
horse was not injured
