lie almost to roar of wagon before hind
heels turn. They had backed In to
deliver some express at Fred. Alexan
der's and tho horses had boon turned
around off tho street to allow a team to

horses wore started tho wagon kicked
up behind and fell front on tho horses,
frightening them and causing them to
start to run. Mr. Shaffer was thrown
on top of Mr. Dempsey and both men
