There was considera BILE excitement along
Main street last Tuesday when a pedler
who had driven across the bridge between
the Peerless factory and Parker & Humph-
rey's mill attempted to turn around near
the river and backed his wagon down the
bank, a distance of about 20 feet, into the
water. The driver by taking flying leap
was able to escape bath. The wagon was
we'll filled with tinware and rsgs. The
swift current caught the box of tinware
and deposited 1t on the dam, and the bags
of rags were carried in every direction.
Fortunately help was near and by the aid
OF the young men who quickly gathered
about the place, together with a good sup
ply of ropes and the encouraging cheers of
the Peerless girls, who had come out to
witness the sport; the horse, wagon, tin
ware, and rags we're all safely deposited on
the bank. 1t is safe to say that the pedler
Will have his horse sharpened little or
will be more careful in the future to look
before he leaps.
