Mrs. c. P. Broadway was the victim of
serious accident Tuesday. She was re-
turning from Orcuttville, where she had
been to take her daughter to school, and
intended to go to the Springs. She was
driving headstrong horse, and at the
four corners near Orcuttville the animal
turned into the West Stafford road in
spite of his driver. Mrs. Broadway was

was loose, and caused her to fall out
when the horse turned the corner so sud-
denly. She struck on her head and was
very badly hurt, as the ground was frozen.
She was rendered unconscious for a short
time, and as soon as possible was taken to
house near by. DR.. Newton was sum-
moned, and found that the most serious
result of the accident was a scalp wound
iabout four inches long on the right side
of her forehead. 1t was an ugly wound,
and the bone was grazed. Her face was
badly bruised in several places, and there
were bruises on her body. Yesterday
she was comfortable, and the indications
are that she will come out all right, al,
though it was a narrow escape from "a
tai accident.
