though some of the horses in the village
were frightened they were soon controlled,

house it met carriage containing Mrs. G. |

manageable. Mrs. Marks was thrown out |

badly damaged. The occupants of the auto |
kindly paid her dollar for some raspber-
ries which were spilled, and then they |
calmly proceeded on their way.
