the animals on the island and was

badly sprained his left ankle. A

obliged to use crutches to hobble
about.

An accident, which, fortunately,
did not result in loss of life, occurr-
ed last week on Digger Mountain
in Alsea. Mr.. and Mrs. Mangle
were on their way from the lower
valley by team, and were at a very
narrow place on the mountain road,
when one of the horses shied, throw
ing the other over the embankment,
and the whole outfit plunged forty
feet to the bottom of the canyon.
Mrs. Mangle was walking at the
time, and her husband jumped
from the wagon, SO neither was in
jured. The horses, by some mira
Gle, escaped unhurt, and they were
brought up to the road again with
block and tackle. The wagon was
more or less damaged.
