B, Mus- tard, who just bought out the God- erich ,business. "J. B." would take a risk like that rather than run in- to a buggy full of women. Glad it was not more serious: "Mr. Mustard, the new proprietor of the MacEwan coal yard, had a nar- row escape from a bad accident (it was •bail enough as it was) on the Bayfield read the other day, or per- haps we should say it was the other conveyance and occupants that had the escape, Mr. Mustard was corning north on the road and had with irirn his wife, Mr. and Mrs, Mustard, sr., and three children, The other rig was a horse-drawn vehicle, in which Mr's. Richard Burke and two daugh- ters were driving. They were both approaching the two bridges at the turn to the cut line, coming in op- posite directions. The none and rig were travelling slowly and Mr. Mustard supposed they intended con- tinuing on down the Bayfield road, As it happened' they wished to take the turn up the cut line. They stopped at first, brit later Mrs, Burke . told her daughter to hurry up and take the turn before Mr. Mustard reached the cut line. The horse, however, balked when well over. 1Ir. Mustard Ina! no time to do anything but attempt to curve around them to the right, and this he did, but in trying to get back on to the road, his car re/le,l over on the top, due, probably in part at least to the lack of gravel the full width of the bridge. The top of the car was the salvation of the occu- pants, for it held the ear up and they were able to get out. No ser- ious damage was sustained by' the occupants of tine car. The top of the car, of course, was broken, and Min. Bluice and her daughters got off scathloss, with nothing worse that n fright. 'Had -Sir. Mustard not taken the chance he did the oc- cupants of. the other conveyance aright easily have been killed," LITTLE LOCALS.
