Jacob Herman met with a very narrow
escape last week, while on his way
home from Philipsburg in his huckster
wagon. He as usual drove in Spring
Creek for the purpose of watering his
borses. Owing to the heavy rains the
creek was unusually swollen but he was
unable to tell this until be was right up
to the water acd thea he had to go on;
80 after getting about half way through
the water the current became so strong
that it carried the wagon, horses and all
down against a bridge sapport. Mr.
Herman in attempting to cut the horses
free became *‘strictly in it"”’ himself and
it took quite a good deal of hard work
before all the living creatures were
rescued. The funniest thing of all was
that he had brought a little white rabbit
along and it remained in the wagon
safely until the next morning. The
next funniest thing was that Spring
Creek tasted of butter for several days
afterwards. The first boys who appear
ed on the scene to rescue the perishing
were Waid Herman and Jack Mitchell.

Last year, poor-overseer D. C.
paid out over $1300 for maintenance of
