Miss Lucy A. Welsh, Miss Julia
Rainey and Miss Lucy Moore, met
with an accident on last Thursday af-
ternoon which might have cost them
their lives, but which fortunately had
not a serious ending. They drove to
Clarksboro, to attend the Sunday
school convention, and while riding
along on the way home and when be-
low Mickleton, they were suddenly
loyertaken by a runaway team, a pair
of large heavy horses, and heavy
| farm wagon and before they could get
out Of the way, the team was onto
them. their carriage was over turned,
their horse thrown down and Miss
Rainey and Miss Moore, were thrown
clear of the carriage, but Miss Welsh
was fastened in the wreck and unable
to extricate herself The runaway
horsese were also entangled IN tue
wrecked carriage and stopped. AS
soon as Miss Rainey could recover
little from the shock of her tall and
take in the situation, she sprang to
her horses head and seated herself
on it thus preventing damage in that
direction while Miss Moore held the
Iother horses by their heads. The
team had started from the Mickleton
station and persons about the station
| had seen the ladies pass down the
road and feared trouble and young
man was dispatched on wheel ana
soon reached the scene and MI Jonh
Heritage coming from another dlrec-
ton the two soon released Miss Welsh
from her perilous position. Her head
had all the time been very near the
runaway horses feet. Miss Rainey
was considerably bruised by being
struck by the horses hoofs, the others
were uninjured, although Miss Veins
| is still suffering from the shock. The
carriage was a complete wreck, the
horses escaped with "a few cuts and
bruises. Everywhere we hear words
of praise for the quick wit and cour-
age displayed by the two young women
who took charge Of three frightened
horses.
