   Dexter, Sept. 2.-(Special to Daily

Argus.)-A bad accident occurred last

evening half a mile east on the Ann 

Arbor raad which might have been

fatal. Fred Schaible of Ann Arbor

and a friend were driving towards

Dexter with a horse and baggy hired

at Brenners livery. A hay wagon was

ahead of them and by request the 

owner drove his team to the side of the

road to give them an opportunity to

pass. As they were doing this, a

driver with one Phelps livery horse 

and buggy taking Larry Colvin to Ann

Arbor, came from Dexter and collided

with them, the shaft entering the 

breast of Schaible's horse over 12

inches almost coming out on the other

side and breaking off. Michael Bren-

ner was soon on the ground with Dr.

Dell. The horse was taken back to

Ann Arbor where it is being treated

by the Doctor who thinks he can save

the auimal unless blood poisoning sets

in.

   George Higgings and Luther James

have returned from an extended fish-

ing trip to Alpena. They brought

with them a number of fish for their

friends.
