A Near Accident

In returning from Rensselaer, after taking some friends to the train a few evening ago, Mr. and Mrs. Kraus and son, and Mrs. Alex Hurley came very near upsetting their rig when a few feet south of the Burke bridge. A certain Rensselaer lawyer did not have his auto lighted and could see but a short distance ahead. All that saved the rig from being upset, was the fact that the neckyoke broke, single tree came off and the tugs became unhitched. It looks to me like the lawyers would be more careful anyway, for if there had been a case from some one else they would all be ready for it. —Mrs. A. Hurley.
