ESCAPE DEATH
Outing Party, Team and Carriage
fall Down a 5O-FO0i Embank-
ment but No One Is Very
Seriously Injured
STATE ROAD SCENE or ACCIDENT

Not one time in thousand perhaps
could five people, team of horses and
a heavy carriage roll down fifty foot
EN- mbankment and all come out practi
cally uninjured. However this very
singular accident happened Sunday
afternoon on the state road between
Grizzly creek and Shoshone fails.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. O. Waterbury and
two children, of Des Moines, Iowa,
and Claus Peters of Glenwood, made
the trip to Hanging lake Sunday. Claus
being sent along as driver for the team
which was from Hawley's livery barn
The party made the trip to the lake
without accident and after spending
most of the day in climbing the trail
and viewing the lake and falls they
started on their return journey in the
afternoon.
All we're extremely we'll pleased
with their outing ana were having
jolly time singing, laughing ETC..
when they were ruthlessly awakened
to sense of danger when the horse
next to the hill became frightened at
large rock while rounding sharp
curve and made heavy lurch toward
the river.
The road at this point was very mar
row and the result was that the near
horse was pushed over the embank-
ment pulling his mate, carriage and
occupants after him.
The carriage turned completely over
the horses and then the horses rolled
over the carriage and in this matter
they all went to the bottom, fifty feet
below, the carriage landing first. prac-
tically unbarmed with the exception
that the top was broken off. while the
horses rolled down against the vehicle.
lying on their backs in such a manner
that neither could get to his feet.
But the most remarkable thing of
all was the fact that the five people
remained in the carriage and beyond
several severe bruises not one of them
was seriously injured.
The driver and Mr. Waterbury
jumped ont and after helping Mrs.
Waterbury and the children to a place
of safety succeeded in getting the
horses up and back to the road. 1t
was impossible to drag the carriage
up the steep embankment 50 Peters
went to farm house and borrowed
wagon, hitched up and came on into
town.
Mrs. Waterbury and the children
were taken to DR.. Berrys Office where
it was found that the lady's thumb
had been dislocated and one Of the
small bones of the wrist fractured,
while one of the little boys had bad
bruise on the forehead OF course
they were all mure or less bruised,
bnt considering the terrible fall their
escape from death was indeed miracu-
lous.
Mr.. and Mrs Waterbury departed
Thursday for Salt Lake seemingly lit
tie the worse from their terrible ex-
perience.
Just before getting on the train Mr..
Waterbury told the reporter that the
driver was not to blame in the least for
the accident as it all happened SO
quickly that it was impossible to pre-
vent the horses from goirss ever the
embankment. Alter all that happened
the gentleman was of the opinion that
they had been almost repaid by seeing
Hanging lake and Bridal Veil falls
which he considers the most beautiful
scenery he has seen in the west.
