EFT of Pittstield, the noted horse man, had
queer experience with horse the other
day On Monday he shipped horse for
Boston, on board the train at Pittstield
Just before reaching Fairfield when the
train was going at the rate of twenty five
miles an hour, the horse becoming fright
ened. settled back in the car, breaking the
halter. The door of the box car was open
and out of this the horse plunged, going
lend over end. The animal then picked
himself up and ran couple OF miles, and
was altogether unharmed.
