managed to give too hard yank on

causing the strap to break and much
disturbing the peace of the animal.
The mule set out with all the vigor
that was in her while "Killowatt"
frantically endeavored to retain his
seat in the wagon.

frightful accident was unavoidab BILE
but it CHANGED that the mule changed
her mind and slowed down to a walk
allowing the driver to jump from his
perilous position and gain control Of
the situation. not, however, before
