There was q considerable drop in gro
ceries yesterday afternoon; all brought
about by Foss' delivery team taking q
sudden start from Lilley's house. Edgar
FOss was the man in charge and when the
horse started Edgar made rapid time and
jumped into the rear end of the sleigh,
which then took sudden flop and over
it went, throwing driver and contents
out. The horse meandered down Com
mOnwealth Avenue, and over the hill,
making revolution or two and then
came to = sudden stop. No serious dam
