A Curious Mix-up.
c. w. A. Putnam and A. B. Gay bad a
curious experience Tuesday evening as
they we're driving from Braintree in one
of Mr.. Gays livery teams in which he
had taken party to Rochester. On the
way back he picked up Mr.. Putnam after
afday,s fishing in Braintree and as they
were going down the hill near the Maun
farm. one horse stumbled and fell, which
startled the other horse so that it Jumped
and broke the yoke of its fallen mate and
dragged the wagon over it.
The next move freed the standing ami
NAL and it bounded over a wire fence,
while the PROSTATE beast thrashed around
under the carriage and finally crawled
out between the wheels, upsetting the We
hicle, but not before the occupants sue
ceeded in alighting.
The fence-jumper took another leap
into the highway and set off for the sta
BILE, which it reached in lather of sweat
with the pole dragging from its neck. Its
appearance in such condition indicated
trouble and another stable team was at
once dispatched in search of Mr.. Gay,
who was found stranded with one horse
and a double rig on his hands.
Neither Mr.. Gay nor Mr.. Putnam were
at all injured, and the horses were only a
little bruised. The harnesses were brok-
en- but the carriage was not damaged.
NJ. c. Rowell, who was out riding and
caught sight OF the runaway posting for
the stable, drove towards the Maun farm
to investigate and brough. Mr.. Putnam
the rest of the way home.
