Some More Fun In Freedom

The Nene Washtenaw Post is responsible for the follbwina; exciting story from Freedom: "On Monday evening, Win. Beufirle,of Freedom, whohad been in the county seat on a visit to Santa Claus, was driving home heedlessly and in good spirits witli a servánt of Fred Frey. For some reason the liorse became frightened and becanie uncontrollable, so that tlie top of the buggy was broken off, and together with the servant went to the ground like a balloon, while Mr. Beuerle sat down not any too softly on the grass at the side of the road. In the meantime the horse ran on with the other half of the buggy, and sprang into the doublé carriage of ex-Supervisor Sweetland, who was jogging alone; the road without any suspicion of danger, so that tlie supervisor thought tliat anotlier repüblican cyclone had struck him. After the horse had accomplished tliis heroic deed it described a half circle and plunged into tlie yard of Louis Vogel, who probably has some very good eider, for the animal ran straight into the cellar, where it remained hanging with the ruins of the buggy. Mr. Vogel was greatlysurprised at tliis unusual visitand liastened to the neighbors for help, and the whole crowd met on the road Mr. Sweetland, who was looking for a lantern like Diogenes once for men, when liis horse lay in the grave. Finally all the misfortunes were righted, including the horse that hung in the cellar of Mr. Vogel, like Mahomet's coffln in Mecea. He ascended from the cellar as once did Dr. Faust. This is a true story of Christnoas Eve, 1894, as related to us. Now, on the other hand, we should like a report from Mr. Beuerle, who was so unwillingly and so uncereinoniously seated in the grass. The best thing about the whole thing is that no one was hurt. The hdrse would be gathered up quickly by Barnum if he were yet alive." Dr. Chas. N. Sowyers, medie '93, who is at present practicing in Pentwater, was in the city to-day for a short time on professional business and incidentaily saying "Helio!" to his ïnany frieuds here.
