What might have been disastrous
accident happened at the Shuart farm
last Thursday morning. Dr.. G. Day
Shuart thought he would recreate
little, so he hitched the coach team to
the corn planter and started for drive
in the fields The story goes that the
doctor finished planting corn ADD had

to top buggy and tied to post near
the barn. The coach team made

presence of mind exhibited by Miss
Ward, there certainly would have been
another bad runaway and would have
added to the already difficult case of
the doctor As it was, the coach team
in some manner dashed past or over
the horse and carriage, with the digni

and holding on for dear life and for the
sake of Miss -. Some say the team,
planter, doctor and all went completely
over the carriage; while another report
reaches US that they went through a
space of two feet between the carriage
and the fence close by. The facts are
very difficult to ascertain, and we will
have to let our readers ask the doctor

The team was 1Rally caught by Frank
Shuart, the doctor holding on to the
remains of the harness. He was not
hurt. and displayed great skill and
rare presence of mind in the case.

wish to plant corn again, that you take
a more earthly course and have team
that is. not given to flying, as this earth
