Fowler Hill, Auburn Township - While returning from taking her children to school, as is her usual custom, Mrs. James Marbaker was driving slowly along, when all at once her horse made a sudden spring and broke into a run.

He ran nearly a quarter of a mile, when the cutter struck a knoll and threw her out. H. S.

Neither Mrs. Marbaker or Mr. Hitchcock were seriously hurt. Nothing could be found that had frightened the horse.
