One morning last week while on his
way to the creamery, Mustache Helm
ken, oldest son of milk hauler Helm
Ike Heinken, met with an accident
that nearly brought him to a watery
grave The bridge that he was about
to cross had been washed out by the
heavy rain and a barbed wire fence,
which was visible to the driver, had
drifted across the road, and Nous
tache being unconscious of the fact,
drove his horses across at the usual
speed until they got entangled in the
wires. Injured by the barbs on the
wire and frightened by the roaring of
the water beneath and around the
bridge the horses became unmanage-
able and made a headlong plunge into
the torrent of water below carrying
with them wagon and driver. Both
horses were drowned but the driver
fortunately caught hold of willow
and clung to it until his screams for
help brought to the rescue Mr.. Peters
and H. Saathoff, who by means of a
rope which was thrown to him rescued
the Young man from his perilous posi-
ton.
