on Main Street Tuesday. The team be.

standing on Cottage Street while he
stepped into his home for a short time.
The horses went out Cottage Street and
then down Main Street and were going
at good rate of speed. Fortunately
everyone got out of their way, but auto
mobiles don't dodge unless there is some
one In them to make them and con-

team and considerably damaged. This
collision slowed the animals down some

damaged to a considerable extent, be-
sides the injuries done to the auto.
