An eacapade which has been the talk of the countryside took place on Tuesday night of last week, the principals figuring in which were Mr. Jos. Heattie and Mr. W Galbmilh, two fairly wall -to-ilo farm- ers living in the Orange Valley, two miles north of thia place. The two men, who aro ncixhbora, hnd that after noon driven down to Flesherton station for salt with Mr. Galbraith'a tunin. and on their return stopped in town to dm- cuaa municipal matteisand other tiling. It was after ten o'clock when they U-ft for home. Upon arriving at Seattle's sideroad, two niilus north of here, Mr. Galbraith, who owned the team, got off thu sUuh and started off for Home place, the identity of which he he is not quite positive himself. He says he walked to Berkeley and back, across lots and through the tmnh. Mr. 1'xtattie drove on towards horn*, and when opponite Mr. Burnett's residence un.-oupled his hohs, leaving th.t hind one., with the box and salt, besi.le the road. He then proceed- ed on his journey, turning west front the Orange Valley, proceeding until ho came to the railway track which he evidently thought would be a short cut home, and drove southward along tlie track. Ho had nt gone far until the ni,'ht freight loomed up in front of him. Ho says he r<unenibera xuemn "the darn thing com i i-,',* 1 and rolled off his bob-sleiiih into into the ditc'i, and scraml.led out of the way. One of the horses wan struck behind the foreshonlder an instantly killed. The other was tlirowu into a bank of snow nnd came out of the mdfiil uninjured.
