Last Saturday George Mandigo, a
teamster, for NJ H. Gibson, hauling
stone from the Blue Mountain Quarry
lost two of his team of four white
horses we'll known in this section for
the past few years. The two pole
horses were killed instantly. the third
had his jaw broken and was badly
bruised about the head; it was
fastened down in way that it could
not move and the fourth one, when
found, was about ten rods away with
out a scratch. They were coming
down near where they stopped to put
on the bride chains and the sled cut
of trifie, the steel shoes striking on
stone. 1t was found necessary to
call help 70 start the load and when
the sled slipped off the stone, the
horses being very spirited and under
excitement started and were soon
going with such power it was impos-
sible to check them before they were
over the pitch where the bride chains
should be put on. Mr. Mandigo did
his best to hold them up until the
harness broke when he jumped to save
his life. He was not seriously in
jured. The loss to Mr.. Gibson is
about 5000, but he blames no one.
