He is one of he older residents of the town and drives a sleigh about with a barrel of cider on it. He is hard of hearing and did rot notice the angroach of the car. The motorman in %harsze of the trol- ley was driving at a slow rate of speed, but Mr. Wright made such a sharp turn directly inte the path of the car, that il was impossible to stop it unil the crash came. The horse was dragged a number of yards and in- jured to some extent. The sleigh was practically demolished and the cider barrel bhroken.
