Scared at Corner Stone.

Quite an accident occurred to
George Cooper, wife and daugh-
ter, and Misses Eta and Robena
Smith, last Sunday. They were
driving in a hack to Plymouth
church to attend services and
when within about half a mile OF
their destination the team be-
came frightened and ran over
rock in the road. The vehicle
was upset and its occupants were
thrown out. The little daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper was
stunned by the fall and it took
some time to revive her. Miss
Eta Smith was quite seriously
hurt in the back and her sister
did not escape lightly. In fact,
all of the party were more or less
bruised.
The rock that frightened the
team and caused the overturnlng
of the hack is township corner
stone and stands exactly in the
center of the road. Parties who
are acquainted in that section say
that it does not stand above the
ground more than ten or twelve
inches. At any rate it is little
strange that the horses should
have been frightened at it, and
it is unaccountable that it should
have caused the vehicle to be
upset so completely.
Our informant did not learn if
the hack was damaged to any ex-
tent, but thought not. 1t IS
stated that the condition of one
OF two of the injured people was
so serious that a physician was
called.
