garet Hit. On Thursday as Ole Brc-
Wig and Norman Cummings were re-

level stretch on the bench and upset
the load, throwing out the two men,
and although neither was seriously
hurt, both are still nursing bruises.
The third spill occurred Friday near
the school house as Norman Parker
and his wife and two children were
on their way to Belt. The cutter was
soon righted and the occupants re-
sumed their journey.
