FELL FROM HIS HoRsR-About - o'clock
Friday night, drunken granger gallop-
ing through town on horseback as if chased
by the horrid demons which bad whisky will
create. As he reached the Ormsby House
block, he was precpitated from his saddle
and landed square on his Uranium. The horse
after Kidding itself of its rider came to dead
halt. Strange to say, the man was not hurt.
He remounted his steed and rode off as if
nothing had happened. Had the been
sober it is not at all unlikely that he would
have broken his neck.
