On Saturday while A. R. Benefits
team was standing at the freight
house his horses took fright and
headed down the track. The front
wheels striking the tie caused the pole
to sway so violently that the nigh
horse leaped over it, thus leaving both
horses on the same side of the pole.
In this position they went through the
covered railroad bridge near the E. L.
Chandler Co.'s sounding board mill.
The pole. striking the bridge, was
broken off, and the horses continued on
down the railroad to the crossing on
Main street, where they left the
track, heading for home. In attempt
ing to cross the new bridge they
collided with David Willey's team
which was unloading sand. Both teams
were somewhat injured.
