The driver was hitting up a high speed and noticing the narrow and dangerous nature of the grade applied the brakes. He evidently shot on the brakes hard, and any driver can tell what would happen. The car skidded and overturned on the very brink of the river bank. In fact, as one of the parties express it who saw the accident, “one more pound would have toppled the car over the bank.” which meant a drop of some thirty feet. No one was seriously •injured but it is said that one of the young ladies riding in the car had her nose and shins both barked, but the latter fact is One we will not vouch for by some. Had the car gone over the bank a different Story . could have been told in bold faced type, and the funeral wagon sent out to gather the remains of another speedier.—Brook Reporter.
