I was to have taken the bunch home in the lumber waggon but hi Frank who has worked all day in the old garden left the neck yoke & doubletrees out there I couldn't and as it was raining, it didn't promise to be very pleasant walking, however it didn't rain hard so the four boys, Dick, Quint, Douglas Skey & George Clark walked down and I drove Dess & Marj down in the buggy Zeitha & Winnie stayed all night. There was an accident in town to-night. It seems Earl Long was goig home and being very drunk was yeloing at the top of his voice and froightened Barwell's horse which was tethered in Barney MvMinny's yard and it ran over the engine bridge wth the train after irt, it got past that safely but when it got down to the station the cjain that wa son it caught and thrw it so rthat it broke its leg, and Dave Waddle sgot it. It has been fine and hot to-day but rather cloudy,
