 Alderman Blakeslee and large force of his trucking equipment had q hard tussle with fifteen ton dynamo on North Main street all this afternoon. l The dynamo was en route to the Chase Rolling mill, and at the junction of Cooke and North Main street the ten
 horses pulling it got stuck. A great crowd gathered to witness the alder mans prowAss with the lines, for it was he who guided the horses. There was no suggestion made from the crowd to get the truck on the move, which was
 an acknowledgment of the alderman's ability as horseman and truckman. But apparently nothing could move the | truck. The weight was about a ton and half to each horse and against very steep grade. After half an hours fruitless attempt the horses were unhitched and taken to their stables for dinner, after which the task was resumed with new hitch and the same horse power after which the mighty machine started again on its way.
