A two-horse team attached to heavy
farm wagon and standing in front OF the
Bethel Mills escaped control of its owner
last Saturday and ran away. The team
OF C. II. Kidder was hitched at the north
end OF the Bethel Mills block and the
runaway team locked wheels with Mr..
Kidder's wagon. The Kidder horse was
securely fastened TO a telephone pole with
a heavy halter and connection could not
give at that end, so the force OF the i'm
pact was strong enough to strip the en-
tire rig from the horse, wagon, harness
and all. The team then ran to the town
fountain, where one horse fell over the
fountain and almost into it. The strange
result OF the whole episode was that nc
very serious damage was done to any oil
the three animals concerned and not very
extensive to the rigs.
