CANAAN PULLS OUT TO LET AN
OTHER TEAM PASS AND LEAD
TEAM JUMPS.
OUTFIT rolls 600 FEET
Dad Jumps Clear and None Of His
Horses Severely Hurt-Wagon
Badly Smashed.

A bad accident happened on the
Whitebird grade last Monday, but the
participants were fortunate for the
reason that outside of the injury to the
freighter Is wagon there were no person
al injuries, and not even horse was
killed or severely injured.
George Smith and Evan Evans were
going down to Whitebird and about nine
o 'clock Monday morning met Dad
Canaan, the well known freighter, COM
ing up with his four horse team. When
Dad reached the turnout he pulled out
on the side of the road SO that George
Smith could pull into the turnout.
George had jus st pulled into the turn
out when for some unexplainable reason,
the lead team on the freighter's wagon
became frightene ed and jumped, pulling
the whole outfit over the edge of the
trail. Canaan managed to clear himself
Of the wagon without trouble and the
rest of the outfit rolled about six or
seven hundred feet down the mountain,
smashing the wagon all to pieces.
The peculiar part of the accident was
the fact that not q one Of the horses
received serious injuries although they
were scratched UP pretty badly. Smith
said that he later met Dad leading his
horses past Jones place and not = one
of the horses were limping. The &C.
cident happened at place on the graae
about fifty feet from where the stage
horses were killed by lightning few
years back.

'HORSING' BARRED BY
PRINCETON SENIORS
Student Council Holds Hazing
System Is Degrading-Fresh-
men To Be Gentlemen.

Princeton, y. j.. April 25.-Princeton's
freshmen have been emancipated. Simon
Legrees of the sophomore persuasion are
gnashing their teeth and upper classmen
are dumb with surprise. The proclama-
ton. however, has been posted so that
all who rage may read, and the student
councils hand and seal are affixed to the
document
Since Princeton was Princeton the way
Of the freshman, as in other well regu-
lated schools, has been hard. He has
dotted his cap, kept Off the grass, been
submissive and humble in the presence OF
his betters and has offered himself at all
times for the proper amusement and
scorn Of his natural lords. the upper
classmen.
The first assault on the feudal system
came in the memory OF "old grads Of
twenty years ago. At that time the
hazlng system went by the board.
In its place came 'horsing," a system
more subtle but often as effective. Now
the seniors have decided that the "hors-
ing" system is childish and degrading
and have put ban on it,
The Princeton freshman OF next year
enters as gentleman and is to be treat
ed as a gentleman, with no duties be-
yond those of common civility to the
upper classmen.
The recruits cannot wear hats or walk
on the grass, but otherwise they are to
be regular human beings. There is much
pickering among the students. but the
senior council is firm and will punish all
offenders against the rule.
