Mrs. Morgan and the baby had
gotten out of the buggy, and the
WRECKED buggy was taken to the
side of the road and left there
until after the ball game at Gale
ma, to which the whole party was
going. The mare was put into
an unused barn near by. The
Smith and MeAbOy buggies were
pressed into service and the ship
wrecked Morgans were taken on
to Galeua. 1t was a very narrow
escape for Mr.. Morgan and his
wife and baby, for without help
he could not have unhitched the
horse, or gotten them out either.
If the horse had veered to one
side the buggy would have been
overturned and the occupants
would have been injured.
