Accident to Baggage Wagon.

Last Sunday evening as the baggage
wagon of the Raggio stage line be-
tween jackson and lone was coming
around the corner at the old toll house
near town, one of the horses became
frightened, and mixup was the result.
Al Podesta was handling the ribbons,
but he could not hold the team. They
began to run, and came in contact with
a barbed wire fence. One of the
horses is known to be a high kicker,
and took advantage of the occasion to
do turn. The harness was broken,
and one of the lines parted at the bit.
The frightened animal finding himself
free turned and ran back to Martell
Station where he was caught.
Help from town was called by tele-
phone, and wagon was taken out and
the baggage and broken wagon
brought in.
Both horses were somewhat injured,
but the driver was not hurt.

hood to womanhood in this community,
developing personality of such won-
derful sweetness and charm, that she
became the idol of her many relatives
and delight to her many friends.
The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. Withrow, at the Pine Grove
church, on the following Saturday
afternoon, and was largely attended.
The flowers were exceedingly beautiful
and in great profusion.
The casket resting before a bank OF
snowy chrysanthemums, and surround
ed by garlands, wreaths, bouquets and
palms-a most fitting expression of the
affection felt for the deceased and SYM
pathy for the bereaved ones.
