Log Sleds Wreck but Teamsters Keep Warm!
McKean County Miner
Feb. 1, 1895
Ten heavily loaded log sleds passed down Main Street on Thursday, all closely packed together in order, no doubt, to keep warm. When they turned into Fulton Street the teams broke into a trot and at Water Street the head load collided with a load coming down that street tipping over and generally smashing up both pair of sleds. Another teamster, in trying to pass the debre, tipped his load into the ditch. 

Everything considered they were warm.
