 The drivers of some of Gary's sleds engaged in transporting logs from the hills behind the hollow road ex- perienced much difficulty traversing East Main street and. Main on last Saturday afternoon. After inyolun- tarily unloading and reloading | on East Main street the sleds were ready to journey through Main street only to find that the snow, that looked so fine in the morning, was mud and at the best very poor sliding. Several of them by keeping to the side of the street made the journey safely, but one driver decided to test the going in the middle of the trolley track and became marooned, while the street 1 lined with sages of all ages who shouted various bits of advice at the unfortunate guide. Another pair of horses arrived from the stable and with much hallooing succeeded in breaking whifletree. and finally in pulling the stranded sled through the | street onto the comparatively. easy going of West Main street.
