John O'Neill, who drives and
peddles milk for Charles Webb,

Monday morning while he delivered
some milk to one of his customers.

could overtake the team it was un-
der way and going at a pretty lively
clip. 1t turned the corner of Dy-
berry Place and Thirteenth street,
distributing milk cans, bottles and
contents of the wagon along the
course. The horses freed them
selves at Weiss corner near the arm
ory and was soon caught. The team
was uninjured, but the wagon is al
most a complete wreck. Two wheels
were broken off while the body of
the wagon was badly damaged. Mr..
O'Neill telephoned to Mr.. Webb and

Honesdale. Securing a sleigh from
Liveryman w. L. Burnard Mr.. O'Neill
finished his milk route, his customers
being detained only little time.
