the fence. down over an embankment
and finally landed bottom side up

meath it. While his friend was uninjur-
ed, both bones of Mr.. Moody's left arm
were broken and his face badly lacerated
besides other minor injuries. W. A.
Wright went after the party and
brought both car and passengers to this
place. Mr.. Moodys injuries were at
tended to and Friday night the men
were taken to Their homes in Peacham
by Mr.. Wright and Frank Gallup. On
the return trip Mr.. Wright's car failed
and Charles Parker started from the
garage here after him. Mr.. Parker lost
his glasses and ran his car in ditch but
reached the stranded car. After making
a short distance the taxicab struck a
rock, the blow springing the front axle
and pitching the machine over the bank.
By the combined efforts of the three men
it was righted and brought to the gar

thrown from a carriage Thursday. The
horse took fright at passing team and
jumped, throwing the young man to the
ground, inhicting cash on the forehead
which required the needle to close, but
he made quick recovery.
By quick nse of his head and the brake
on his auto John Rickaby avoided a
serious accident Thursday. He had
started through the under-pass on Bay
street when team rounded the corner
from the other direction. Caldbeck' S
delivery team was standing directly in

into the standing wagon. So skilfully
did he manipulate the car that the only
damage was broken glass in one of the
lamps and broken spoke in the wagon.
