Messrs. Will George and Chas.
Parker and Misses Agnes HaSs and

party that drove across country TO
Plainfeld and Hancock the past week.
From one of the party we learned that
while driving between Plaintield and
Hancock after dark, the team was
driven accidentally into huge snow
bank upsetting the rig and all hands
Scampered out. When they recovered

shuttle. They discovered her making
long strides through the deep snow
and finally found her perched upon a

all right. Considerable merriment
resulted from the capsizing episode.
