What one could consider a lucky
accident occurred last Monday af-
ternoon about 3 o'clock. Harold
Phillips. who is considered some
what of an expert in breaking
broncs. attempted to drive a young
bronc double. AS soon as Harold
persuaded the team to start,
things began to happen. Both
horses got beyound control and
started in a dead run. In trying
to avert crashing into an electric
light pole Harold urged the slower
horse ahead but one wheel of the
wagon collided with the curbing,
resulting in upsetting the outfit and
throwing the driver to the ground
on his face. Harold might have
escaped further injury to himself
by dropping the lines but we have
reasons to believe. having been an
eye witness to a former heroic act
of this same boy, that self preser-
walton in time of need is a sec
ondary issue to him. Perhaps a
flashing picture appeared of little
tots playing in the road OF cross
ings and a runaway team without
a driver. Possessing the stay
with-'em" qualities of a true horse
man he hung onto the lines, be-
ing dragged until the overturned
wagon struck and ran over him.
The runaway collided with a new
car belonging to L. A. Storm
and damaged it considerably. In
the meantime witnesses to the ac-
rushed % the aid of Phillips f
who lay unconscious. L. A. Storm
vas among the first to assist in 6

From across the river in Rich

What appeared at first to be a
"bucking" Ford proved to be only ;
a truck loaded with twenty-foot l
timbers, Tom Pritchard at the |
steering wheel and Ted riding the |
radiator. Ted succeeded, now and :
then, in making Henry stay down !
on his front feet. All were bound
