THIS TEAM BEATS
 HUMPTY DUMPTY

Last week a team belong ing to John Dewitt and driven by Taylor Hunt met with a most peculiar acci- dent, and came out of the melee unscathed.
 Mir. Hunt was scraping gravel for the gravel shute which leads down from the cliffs along the highway be- tween here and St. Joe when the scraper came too near the edge, fell over, and in turn over balanced the team so that they were dragged over the cliff also. They fell into the wooden shute and team and scraper head over heels in one grand tangle cascaded to the bottom. Their fall was so swift that the men working at the bot tom had much to do to get out of the way of the des- cending live stock.
 The strange part of the whole thing is that the two horses landed at the bottom on a pile of gravel none the worse for wear, with no broken bones or sprains and only a few skinned spots. How they escaped being cut to pieces by the wildly cata- putting scraper with its polished knife like edge which was fastened to them is beyond comprehension.
 But they are better off than Humpty Dumpty after his fall for nothing could fix him up.
