A Sunday afternoon “buggy ride”
came to an abrupt ending for Marvin
Ishier, local High school youth, his
younger brother and Vinton MoCiellan,
the latter two small boys. Marvin
hitched up one of his Shetland pons
jes to a small express wagon placed
a box in the front, on which he sat
while the other two boys crowded in
the rear half of the wagon. The trip
up-town was uneventful, but going
down street the pony, in taking a mors
rapid gate, struck its hoofs against
the front of the wagon, which doubts
less frightened it, for It started on &
gallop. Marvin is a youth of more
than ordinary strength, but he could
not hold hig pony In check. Descends
ing thy grade at the Clyde Dutrow
home, the pony was going “wide open.”
Marvin attempted to turn in at the
alley at the Grange hall to got to
his home, and the result wag un grand
spill, the youngsters flying in al] direc.
tions on the public road. Marvin held
on to the reins however, and got his
unprecedented bargains,
pet under control. None of thy boys
was hurt, o
