containing man and woman, ran into
surrey occupied by DR.. and Mrs. W. N.

ing in front of Scott's grocery store during
the band concert, when the street was
crowded with people. The shaft of the
single team caught in one of the rear
wheels of the surrey and tipped 1t over,
throwing the occupants to the sidewalk.
The woman in the single team jumped
and the two vehicles came together. The
woman was unhurt. One wheel of the
surrey and the shaft of the other wagon
were broken, but no serious damage was
done. The accident created much ex-
element for short time, and several
other accidents were narrowly averted on
account of the crowd of people and teams.
