 William Bradlo of Railroad Hill street was given a beating on Bank street by a couple of his fellow coun- trymen. He was done up in bad shape and Dr Parker had to be called on to attend to his injuries. A homemade automobile met with an accident on Bank street, near Leonard street, and had to be pushed ] to East Main street by a number of l boys. The owner of the machine af- ter trying in vain to secure the assist ance of several teams decided to have the boys push it home. It was 1 great fun for the boys and they are in hopes that couple of the machines break down every week.

 A horse owned by an Italian liv ing in the vicinity of Wards flats strolled from his barn last evening and tried to walk the Highland divis ion trestle He did fairly we'll til he reached a point about twenty fec from where he started when he seemed to get nervous and stepped into the space between the ties. Al first only his two front feet were caught, but he soon lost control of his hind ones and they also were caught The horse was now in helpless con dition and number of men, with tho aid of the policemen who were or duty, soon succeeded in freeing the horses feet. The trouble was nor over here for the horse was afraid tc walk any more on the trestle, so he laid down on the track ana rolled of onto the bank below, a drop of prob | ably fifteen feet. He then started tt swim the river, but his owner caugh ,I him before he was out very far Shortly after the horse rolled off the track an engine came along.
