Tim Dowling, the jolly Demo-

mishap Thursday. In company

of good old Rye in the buggy.
Arriving at the foot of the hill
they found it impossible to go far
ther on account of the snow, and
accordingly turned round to return.
While coming around the point
on the other side of Nichols lake
the horse SHE'D and precipitated
the buggy, occupants and contents
down the declivity into the lake.
Dave escaped the mix up that fol
lowed, but Tim, the horse and
buggy went into three feet of
water, with the result that Tim got
wet and the harness and buggy
badly broken. And the whisky:
well only one-half gallon out Of $40
worth was all that was saved.
1t don't make much difference
about Tim and the conveyance, but
its too bad SO much good whisky
was spilled SO unceremoniously.
