While under the influence of liquor Friday David Goggin started with his team for Fort Adams and returning by way of the Ocean Drive picked up Dr. White, a Veterinary Surgeon, and a soldier named George Farrar, giving them a lift towards town. One of these two observing Goggin's coudition obtained the reins but when at the bridge near the Lily Pond David wanted to drive himself and when an ellort was made to preveut him, he seized the reins and jerking the horse's head upset the team over an embankment. A telephone message was received at the police station at (I.2S and eight minutes later the City ambulance was on its way to bring back the wounded. At 7.10 they were on Market Square which was very quick work.

Goggiu was removed to the hospital and there it was found that his face was badly injured and his skull fractured. White and Farrar escaped with slight injuries. The fancy paper hangings on the ceiling of Mr. W. S.

After destroying the paper the lire went out of itself. Had the llames got a hold unou the woodwork a conflagration would undoubtedly have resulted.
