Photographer Binford took his wife
and parents out for a carriage ride in
the country last Sunday, and when
not far from the Langan rancho, while
intent on the beauty of nature, we are
told the carriage and horses almost
dropped out of sight in q mud hole.
They were not far from Mr.. Hooks
house, and surmising they were in
trouble he took a rope and q horse and
! went to investigate. They had got
the horses out, and were helplessly
wondering how they would get the
carriage out when he arrived. He
tied the rope to the carriage and tried
to pull it out with his horse but wal
obliged to go and bring a team to pull
it out. Don't suppose it occurred to
our enterprising photographer, but
we surmise had he secured a good
negative CT his mishap it would have
proved n of the most taking of
his postcard series. -Centerville Jour-
