Rand's with a three horse load of
green lumber, the bridge gave way.
pitching the driver. two of the horses
and the load into the brook bed quite
a distance below. Mr.. Rose was hurt
about the head and limbs but fortu-
nately not in serious manner. while
the horses escaped any great injury
! beyond few scratches. The wagon
was badly smashed. 1t was thought
| that the load was heavier than the
bridge limit, so the selectmen caused

it was found to be within the limit
and weighed $3.50 lbs. Many think the
town culpable in allowing the bridge
to be in such a weak condition, but in
a town of so many bridges it is per-
haps not to be wondered at, and this
same one was repaired only five years
ago. A new iron bridge has been con-
tracted for and must be done before
