SPILLED OFF A BRIDGE
Judge Evans and Little Daughter and
J. q. Wright Meet with a Ser
ious Mishap, None Hurt.

Judge Evans and Little Daughter n
J. D.. Wright Meet with a Ser
ious Mishap, None Hurt.
While out driving at seven-thirty
yesterday evening. Judge Evans and
his little daughter, Miss Elizabeth az
J.. d.. Wright, met with a serious ac-
cident at Pennsylvania bridge over
North Spring river. In backing on the
bridge, Judge Evans horse pushed the
buggy over the edge of the structure,
which has no railing. Mr.. Wright
saw the danger and jumped in time
to land safely on the ground, but
Judge Evans was driving in try
ing to save his little daughter from
possible injury, remained in the buggy
He and the little girl were spilled out
into the river, the buggy, horse and
all tumbling over into the stream.
The buggy turned over on it's side
catching Miss Elizabeth in such a
manner that she would have been
drowned had it not been for the
prompt action of her father. The bug
gy was turned over on it's side and
the horse had to be embarrassed be-
fore he could be taken from the wat
er. None of the parties were hurt.
but it was a narrow escape.
