AUKUM.

VIM. Carter. who lives one mile
south of this place, met with a serious
accident through runaway team on
Tuesday last. lie hltched up a span
OF young horses he had driven many
times before, to go after a load OF
wood. The horses had been standing
IN the stable for several days without
being exercised or used. When he
got on the wagon, the horses plunged
forward with vicious speed and runn-
ing into depression in the road.
The wagon bounded upward and
threw Mr. Carter violently to the
ground. The team ran about 40 yards
and brought up before an enclosed
gate in front of them, doing no
damage to the team or wagon swhat-
ever. Mr. Carter after being thrown
out arose and walked into his house,
a hundred yards away. DR.. Norman
of Plymouth. was sent for, and when
be came found that both of Mr.. Car
ter's arms we're broken just above the
wrist. He is now getting along as
we'll as could be expected. He and
his wife are to be taken to Plymouth
by their son Robert, tomorrow, where
they millstau- with -rnlakives of that
medical attendance.
Supervisors GrIllo of Amador and
Jones of Ill Dorado, met at the South
Fork of Cosumnes bridge Friday last,
to examine and counsel over the
construction of new bridge in con-
temptation at that place the coming
summer. Supervisor Jones said that
Ell Dorado county was not able this
year to put up steel bridge. and
thought that wooden bridge could
be put up at comparatively small
outlay that would answer the purpose
for several years, and by the time the
bridge was unfit for use, the counties
would be able to construct a steel
bridge OF strength and endurance
creditable to both counties. On an
economic bases it appears to me that
Mr. Jones is right, for the essential
reason that the present wooden bridge
still is standing, but now condemed,
has really done good service for ten
long yeaIs-besides both counties will
be strained this year In finance to
meet the outlay of new constructions
occasioned by the flood.
