A Hair-Breadth Escape.

Last Saturday evening when
Mrs. S. E. Chiles and Mrs. I.
W. Adams started out on drive
in the handsome surrey of the for
mer they little anticipated the
thrilling denonement.
As these ladies, chatting pleas
antly as ladies will, neared the /.
G. crossing, a train of cars, with
the engine at the sattion, was
backing down south. The alert
watchman heIloed Justify, but
Mrs. ChiIes, who was driving, ap-
peared intent only on crossing, in
spite of ominous distractions,
when Billy, always conscien-
tious in the discharge Of his.du-
ty, jumped to the horses head.
In turning as quickly as hu-
man and equine limitations would
permit, Mrs. Adams, who at
tempted to jump out just at this
exciting and eliminating juno
ture, was thrown across the track
under the cars. Most fortunate
to relate her dress skirt, which
was heavy one. caught on the
carriage step and III the move
ment Of the vehicle, with Billy
still hold Of the bits, she was drag
ged out just ii the nick Of time,
when the iron wheels would have
undoubtedly crushed out her life.
We are pleased to state that
Mrs. Adams sustained little Or DO
injury and was both able and will
ing to drive out again after the
lapse of an evening or two.
The two ladies. who are among
our most prominent and useful
Christian women, have been
warmly congratulated upon their
hair-breadth escape from an aw-
full death.

and dinner was served on the
grounds and large crowd Of the
patrons of the school and others
we're present to enjoy tho pleas
ures of the occasion.
During the afternoon, while
Mr.. Cohn was in the midst of his
speech, addressing an audience
in the school house, a row occur

johnson and a young man named
Edgar James, during which
James fred three shots at John
son with a pistol. the shots, how
ever, missing their mark. The
incident temporarily broke up
the meeting in the house, but
when all was quiet again and it
was found no one had been killed
or wounded, Mr.. Cohn was urged
to resume his address, and did so,
much to the delight of his hear
ers.
The Leader is informed that IL

to be the fashion of a certain
class of persons to attend school
and church meetings in some
