MT. A. J. Dodson, who runs a one horse dray, had lively experience and narrow escape from drowning Saturday evening. He was backing up to the bluff bank of the river be- low the cedar yard to dump some garbage into the river, when his horse, wagon, himself and the whole load went into the water. The river was up and the current strong and it looked as if all was over with them for while. MT. Bill Williams was near by and broke loose a boat and rescued Dodsou and the horse. The wagon and harness were left in the river Batesville Bee.
