southeast of town, in company with his
wife and daughter, Bessie, the ground
gave way under the horses feet and they
dropped down almost out of sight, the
buggy turning over on them. The occu-
pants of the buggy made their way out
and Charlie unhitched the team from the
buggy. One of the horses then got out
of the hole without trouble, but the
other was so firmly imbedded in the
earth that it had TO be dug out. The
place which gave way was apparently
perfectly safe, but II was over a hole
which was washed out during the high
water and had been filed in. Rains since
then have gradually washed the dirt from
under the surface, leaving a hard crust
above. Last Sundays rain loosened this
crust and Charles team started TO cross
it just at the right time to get into
trouble. No damage resulted, but Charlie
don't want to try it again.
