with Mrs. A. H. Bowers and one OF TWO
other ladies, when just east OF the
bridge on Russell Avenue, the neck
woke gave way, and permitted the
wagon tongue to come down. This
frightened the mules they were drlV'

It seems that the two elderly ladies'
Mrs. Bowers and Mrs Click were In the
hack seat of the conveyance, Mrs.
Bowers either jumped out or was
thrown out but suffered but temporary
injuries. Mrs. Click, who was thrown
out on the other side suffered much
more serious fate, having her limb
fractured in two places, near the
ankel and also near the hip, as Well as
receiving serious blow on the head
where she struck the wheel.
She was picked up and conveyed to
Mr.. Hackworth's home, near where the

summoned at once. Later she was

care of the old ones. The increase up
10 May 18th is more than l3O per cent
over the enrolment of last season.
