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. ALEX SULLIVAN IS PROMOTED While C. D.
