Thejspeclaele of a handsome boggy
floating in the mndily waters of Muck-
alee or«. k yesterday morning erea'ed
a little excitement f r the time nntil it
waB learned that no fatality bad resul
ted therefrom.
Bat it was a thrilling and narrow es
cape for two wellknowu young people
of The Plains.
With[a wild plunge their horse went
off the bridge, or embankment, drag
ging with him tile buggy und occu
pants. Down they went, iuto the
chilling waters fifteen feet bolow.
The accident occurred at a late hour
the night before, and nothing was
learned of it until yesterday morning
when [passers by wero astonished at
seeing tho buggy m the creek, sub-
merged and broken.
The young couple had driven from
PlaiuB to Amerieus to attend the Le-
Movne performance here.
They drove a spirited horse, and
upon reaching tho bridge, a mile from
the city, npon the retnru trip home
ward, the animal took fright and made
a wild plunge.
Down tho bnggy went, into tho deep
and muddy waters.
The first thought of tho young man
was, of couise, fur tho safety of his
fair escort, and on seeing that she was
unhurt ho freed the struggling horse
and led him ashore, the buggy remain-
ng iu the creek.
Another team was secured and the
trip to The Plains was then made in
safety. It was a close call for the
youi s couple.
