painful accident few days ago that
might have been more serious than ii is.
He was in the shingle mill on Ross Run
having entered to get out of rain storm.
In passing from one point Of the mill
to anoth r his head come in contact with a
pulley wheel that was in motion. The
wheel struck him just above the right
temple cutting the artery and making a
long cut on the side of his face and head.
Quite an accident occurred near West
Hickory the early part of last week.
Mrs. George Hood and Mrs. Warner, the
nurse who is caring for Mrs. Moulin in
her long illness, went driving with a
horse am buggy. They crossed the
bridge and down toward Tionesta. On
their return they stopped just at the East
end of the new approach to the river
bridge to speak with some one. The
approach comes straight out from the
end of the bridge and where it reaches
the river road is flanked by fill guard
ed by an eblique abutment built of
square timber. From the top to the
bottom of this abutment is a distance of
eight or ten feet. A barbed wire fence
runs along not very far from the part of
this abutment and at right angles with
the approach. For some reason the
horse backed off this abutment, the horse
and the buggy with its occupants going
dowu together in an ugly heap. The
horse fell back on the buggy and how
the labies escaped with their lives seems
puzzle. The buggy was kicked and
smashed into kindlng wood, and when
the horse erged he was divested of his
harness, but not much else the worse for
his mishap. Mrs. Hood and Mrs. Warn
er were thrown out on the wire fence.
Their clothing was badly torn, but be-
sides being badly frightened they were
not hurt much.

Joseph Pettigrew is quite i'll with ty-
