Almost a Watery Grave.
Last Tuesday while crossing
Knox’s bridge, on the Martin road,
Robt. L. Freeman had an accident,
the memory of which will cling to
him throughout his remaining days.
Ho was moving a plaining machine,
and while on tho centre of the bridge
it gave way, precipitating mules,
wagon, machine, and driver to the
bottom of the river. Air. Free¬
man became entangled in C e wreck,
and but for timely assistance would
have met his death. After consid¬
erable trt uble the mules were un¬
loosed from the wagon and gotten
out. No serious damage was done to
them. The plaining machine, like
AIcGintv, is still “at the bottom of
the sea,” and if the heavy rains con
tinue will very likely remain there
some time. Those who saw the wreck
say there was not a sound piece of
lumber in the bridge. Our bridges
should be more closely looked after,
as one life is more precious than all
the money in the treasury.
