his rounds on Vesper street. his horse took
fright at flag in the hands of boy and run
away. Mrs. Jason Davis, who lives on Beck
EFT street, which runs parallel with Vesper, saw
the runaway and fastened to the backyard
where her husband was splitting wood to tell
him of the occurrence. She had hardly an
nounced the fact when the horse, which had
left the wagon on the corner of Vesper street,
came galloping into the yard. The horse was
turned by the high fence and at full speed,
snorting like locomotive, with eyes like fire.

stood. The lady had barely time to step aside
when the horse rushed up the three steps,
bounded through the wood shed, turned at
right angles with the kitchen, where the dinner
table was standing at which three children
We're sitting, knocked the table over, crushing
the crockery and slightly injuring the leg OF
one of the children. Another child escaped
through the sitting room to the front hail.

jaws, through two doors to the hail. The
child turned to go up stairs and the horse fol-

her to faint and fall. Soon, however, the
owner of the establishment came along loaded
with milk cans, looking for his horse. He was
surprised to find him attempting to go up
stairs and with some difficulty took him out of
the front door, The carpets were badly torn
and the floors of the house marked deeply with
the shoes of the horse, and the family lose lot
of broken crockery. Mr.. Pinkham's property
suffered great depreciation, as the horse in
his flight made milky way until the whele
supply of the lacteal fluid was scattered. He
however, offered to pay the damage to Mr9
