and heavy farm wagon belonging to
Charles Foster Of near Foster, ILL.,,
broke thru the ice late Saturday after
noon and after much difficulty was
rescued uninjured.
The team had proceeded safely until
within few hundred yards from
the shore at the foot Of Iowa avenue.
when without an instant's warning
they crashed thru the ice dragging the
heavy farm wagon In with them. Help
arrived quickly from the shore and
the nearby market, and the horses
were floated and choked until they
scrambled out on the ice. The wagon
was pulled out after much difficulty.
The ice in this spot appears to be
particularly rotten owing to the cur
rent from the Papoose creek sewer
which has worn the ice thin at this
place. Elsewhere the ice appears to be
firm and solid.
