Rolled DOWN ENHANCEMENT
People Had Lots of Fun at Band
Concert Sunday

What might have been a very serious
accident and was q rather ludricous one,
happened Sunday afternoon during the
band concert in North Riverside park.
a man named Dewing drove upon the
driveway along the river bank and stop
ped while the band played. His horse be-
gan fighting the flies and mosquitoes
and the reins caught under the shaft
The rig was standing close to the side
of the high embankment and as the
horse paved at the flies he kept getting
closer TO the edge and when the rein
caught, he tried TO turn around, Slip
ped and then went tumbling down the
embankment into the pond north of the
driveway. Fortunately the rig did not
upset and the man jumped out before it
went into the pond. In the slide down
the bank the horse got tangled in the
harness worse than ever and he was max
ing frantic efforts to get loose. The ami
NAL was soon surrounded by a crowd OF
people who first laughed. and then tried
TO coax it to come out of the pond. Mr..
Dewing walked out into the muddy water
and unhitched the animal and thought he
would drive 1t out but the naimal be-
came stubborn and would not move. The
owner whipped and begged the horse to
move out. but he would not and then the
crowd began to give advice. Everything
imaginable, from twisting his tail to
hitching rope to him and pulling him
out was offered. Finally Mr. Dewing got
tired and walked away and then the
horse turned his head. saw no one
around and deliberately walked out of
the pond. \ rope was found and tied to
the buggy and it was soon on terra firma.

clear.

J. G. Crane and Miss Mary Crane Last
week Mr.. Crane was taken with small
pox and Saturday the house was quar-

other members OF the family contract the
disease no mortal knows when the cere-

ORIENT BUYS 100 ENGINES
Santa Fe Sells 10 Set Others With
Oil Burners.

A prominent attorney who does con-
siderable business with the railroads.
told a reporter for the Eagle last even
ing that he had learned from reliable
source that the Santa Fe had sold one
hundred of its best and largest engines
10 the Orient company.
The reason given for the sale was that
the Orient wanted TO buy new engines
and the Santa Fe wanted its engines
changed TO burn oil instead OF coal, and
that this kind Of a trade was a saving TO
both companies. The expense of chang
ing the engines for oil was considerable
and that the Santa Fe and the Orient
had divided this expense and the Santa
Fe will get it's engines at less than the
cost of their present engines when
changed and the Orient gets them at less
than they could now be turned out of
the shops.
1t is claimed that the engines sold are
all about as good as new and they are
large ones recently bought by the Santa
Fe for service on their line in the west.
1t is the general talk among the railroad
people that the Orient is going to be one
of the best equipped roads in the west
and its roadbed win be the very best
west of Chicago.
