Another runaway crossed the bridge

Another runaway crossed the bridge
on Tuesday from the west side 1t was
the team of Peter Amell of Rudolph.
On the east end of the bridge they ran
into the cutter of James Canning who
with his wife was just driving off the
bridge. The rear of Mr.. Canning's
cutter was smashed and the occupants
were badly shaken up and Mrs. Can
ming was considerably shocked, but
! fortunately not seriously hurt. Some
gates should be put in at the ends of
this bridge which could be dropped
suddenly in case team was seen to
be running to cross the bridge. If
some such arrangement is not made
someone will be killed by runaways
there, as ten or a dozen runaways 90
, over the bridge every year and gener-
ally on busy day.

to have cars running along the streets

Fisher has promised this and many
other things before, and SO far they
have failed to materialize. We shall
continue to live in hopes his promise
| is true.
