an exciting time while driving over t.

manner the buggy tongue was broker
and the team ran away. Mr.. and Mrs

Jared them up some but no serious
results followed. The team was
caught about seven miles away, anc
after borrowing buggy tongue the

F. w. johnson, the tailor, came
pretty near passing in his checks al
Spiritwood Lake last week. He over
balanced himself in the boat and
toppled over backward into the lake
, and instead of fishing for suckers
would have been meat for suckers by
this time if Bob Moffat and others ha6
not been on hand to fish him out
We apprehend that johnson will DE-
his fishing from the bank after this
until he gets so that he swim around
; at least as good as a turtle. Motfat
says Johnson made more noise that q
}, Mississippi steamboat as he flounderec
around and it was comical sight, but
johnson is glad that he is alive.
