They attempted to cross on the ice which was about 10 or 12 inches thick , but honey combed by the recent warm weath er until it was just a little harder , than packed snow. They drove onto the ice and when near the middle of the river the horses and buggy went down , breaking- through the ice into water T or 8 feet deep. One horse wis : rescued , the other wadrowned , going un der the ice. The ice was hard enough to hold up tho men and they were fortunate in boing able to save one horse and themselves. The buggy stuck in the ice and formed a gorge which broke up the box some and broke the seat but was pulled out with ropes the next day in fairly good condition. The harness was saved by cutting ome parts loose. Mr. Coleman got his finger hurt in helping to lislodge the icegorge from the buggy. RaHcy KrieiV * . Flinch parties are the go in Bail ey these dajs.
