team drawing heavy load along
the narrows near Shanerburg Run
where it was found necessary to drop
one of the traces, and in passing, the
sleigh caught, which frightened Mr..
Schanabacher's team and they start
ed to run. The pole dropped from

across the creek over which the
horses were led. 1t was necessary

along the creek before they could be
gotten into the road. Although
badly bruised and cut, the horses
are not thought to have any perma-
nrnt injuries from their fall.
