DEFECTIVE HARNESS CAUSES SERIOUS
 ACCIDENT
Narrow Escape of Officers on Road Between Miami
 and This City

As the result of the improper adjust ment of the harness of horse being driven by Deputy Sheriff Eugene Shute and Deputy United States Marshal liar. ry Wheeler yesterday, both men came very nearly being seriously injured when the horse became frightened and nearly demolished the buggy with its hoOfs.
 Shute and Wheeler had been to the Miami district and while they were descending Blake street on their return, the breeching slipped down, throwing the horse.
 The animal became frightened and kicked. This tangled the harness still more and the horse fell again, this time with one hind leg through one of the wheels.
 Before he could scramble to his feet the occupants of the buggy had jumped to the ground and grabbed the bridle
 Wheeler lost his watch and gun as he jumped to the ground, but was not injured. Shute was equally lucky in his escape.
 The horse was somewhat injured and the buggy wrecked, the dashboard being kicked in and three spOkes knocked from one of the front wheels.
 The hill is very steep where the aeei. dent happened and had the horse not fallen a second time and become so bad ly tangled with the buggy that he could not regain his feet, both men might have been seriously injured.

 Harmsen will file a bond for one half of the contract price within the next few days.
 As a force of fifty teams and large number of laborers will be put to work on the grading project when this work is taken up, the task will be completed in about fifteen days after commencing work.
 Grading will commence in about thir- tv days.
