| Wesley Blaisdell and his mother, Mrs.
| Mary Blaisdell, OF East Orland, were
driving on Water street last Friday after
| noon when their horse became fright
ened, and ran. In front of Carr's mar
| ket a W heel came of the carriage. The
horse was thrown, and both occupants OF
| the carriage were thrown out. Mrs.
Blaisdell and her son were badly bruised.
The horse was severely cut. The wagon
was smashed. 1t is fortunate that the
| accident was no worse. Just beyond
where the runaway horse fell the street
was blocked with teams. Had the horse
not fallen where he did, bad mix up
| and more serious damage would have re-
| suited.
