Nat Batchelder of the Plainfield road
had one Of the most thrilling rides OF
his life yesterday afternoon while driv-
ing a team, loaded with hay, down
Merchant street hill. According to re-
ports, Mr.. Batchelder's horses became
| frightened at an automobile at the top
Of the hill and started to run The
momentum of the vehicle consequently
increased rapidly down the hill and in
an endeavor to decrease this and pre-
vent his horses from being seriously
hurt or possibly killed by accident.
which seemed inevitable II the team
was allowed to go straight down the
hill, Mr. Batchelder refined his horses
in a zig path down the descent TO
lessen the momentum. Complete con-
| troll of pair of horses under such cir
cumstances Is impossible and when he
/ discovered his horses on the sidewalk
of Merchant street and his team appar.
/ emily on the verge of crashing into
the iron fence and possibly going over
the 30-foot embankment, Mr.. Batch
elder chose to let the horses and wagon
90 alone. if at all, though before jump
ing to the ground he refined his horses
away from the fence. The results were
quite satisfactory as the team contin-
! ued on its way down the hill without
4 collision. but when at the corner OF
Summer and Merchant street the en-
tire load of hay toppled over with the
wagon when the horses turned sharply
south into Summer street. Mr.. Paquet
and other men nearby stopped the
horses, which were recovered by Mr..
Batchelder, and aside from the task Of
reloading the hay nothing serious hap
pened to anything.
