Wednesday evening while come of our
young people were sMding down the Pear
son hill on a traverse sled, they ran into
team as they came to Main street. The
sled knocked the horse down, falling on
to the coasters. Settie Merrill had her
ankle severely hurt, and some OF the
others were bruised and laued somewhat
but not seriously. When the horse got to
his feet he kicked spitefully, and bis foot
barely missed tee head of eone the young
men. It was narrow escape from serl-
accident. Too nauch caution cannot be
exercised if children and young people are
, permitted to slide on our streets.

ness, Mr. and Mrs. j. w. Murkland, and
