Narrowly Escape accident.

While Misses Ethel and Hazel
Green and Miss Nellie Driscoll were
out driving last Sunday afternoon
something broke about the harness
and frightened the horse so that he
got beyond the control of the girls.
The horse ran only a short distance
with the buggy, for it was soon over
turned, the young ladies being
thrown to the ground, while the horse
broke away from the carriage. For
tunately none of them we're hurt
badly; only few bruises and
scratches. The girls returned to
Gardellas at Big Bar bridge, which
they had only left, and teIephoued to
town for someone to come after them.
It required man on horseback some
time to find the horse which the
girls had been driving. The buggy
was badly damaged, one of the wheels
being broken from collision with a
tree, while one of the shafts was
broken.
