TEAM WENT INTO RIVER
BROKEN DoU5LETREE SAVED
MRS. WIEDEMAN.
NoRTHFoRK BRIDGE WAS OUT
But for Broken DoubIetree Buggy
in Which Mrs. Jacob Wiedeman Was
Seated Would Have Gone over the
Bridge.

The breaking of a doubletree after
the two horses had gone over the
side of the bridge INTO the Northfork
river alone saved Mrs Jacob Wiede-
man from being carried into the river
with the buggy. And once in the
river she would have stood slight
chance of escaping alive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wiedeman, who live
six miles southeast of Norfolk, were
driving across the county line bridge
over the Northfork near the Edward
Wagner farm when Mr.. Wiedeman
noticed that the bridge had been
washed out. The team, pair OF colts,
were well on the bridge by this time,
and Mr.. Wiedeman sprang from the
buggy to hold the horses by the head.
The frightened animals pushed over
the bridge into the river. In the
struggle, however, the buggy pole
broke and the horses failed to drag
the buggy, in which Mrs. Wiedeman
was still seated, into the water after
them.
Considerable difnculty was exper-
fenced In resCuing the horses from the
water, the assistance of neighbors be.

Fire on Pleasant Street.

An alarm of fire, rung in from box
thirty three, summoned the depart
ment shortly after one O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon, to put out fire
in the loft of the stable of Everett I.
Goodrich on Pleasant street. 1t is
not known how the fire caught. 1t
was discovered by little Julian, six
years of age, who was about to go to
a neighbors when he noted the Gin
ders and smoke issuing from an upper
window OF the stable and turned back
in great excitement to inform his
mother. The loft was full OF hay and
a lively blaze was the result but the
department succeeded in getting it
under control and in combining the
principal damage TO the stable above
the first story. There was some water
ter smoke damage to the house and
contents, but the insurance, $4,000 on
the buildings and $500 on the house
hold goods is much more than enough
to make good all loss.
The water pressure seemed to be
very satisfactory. The city main
running through Pleasant street is the
direct line between the pumping sta
ton at the Eddy and the standpipe
on Neil hill, so that the best pressure
to be found in town should show it
self there. 1t was apparently all that
could be desired.

Matinee Races at Elmwood Park.

There will be a great matinee race
at Elmwood Park, Norridgewock, on
Saturday, June 9th, with three
events, 2.26, 2.40 and 800 classes. The
usual distance for matinee racing
is one half mile but these are to be
full mile heats, best three in five.
The events will be trotted under the
rules of the National Trotting associa-
ton but with matinee conditions so
that no horse will be given a mark.
This is great point at the opening of
the racing season, when no owner
wants to give his horse low record
and, with this possibility removed,
there is no reason why every horse
should not be driven at his best clip.
Fine hand made harnesses, blankets
and whips are TO reward the winners,
four prizes in each event.
The tasg of the base ball enthu-
siasts is Z $50 provided for as there is
to be a game between the Norridge-
wocks and the North Ansons.
