fence near Mr.. Laugridge's and resolved to
turn around and 60 back. Plattevile people
were not here getting their cases tried and
Lancaster people are too peaceful to have
any need of a prosecutor. When he was
some distance away from his vehicle Platte
vile driver came along, one Of those saggy
fellows who would as soon chew putty as wax,
and allowed his team to sag off into the
wheels of Cap. Beebe's buggy. This fright>
ened his horse II broke loose from the
fence and as it ran along its feet became ems
tangled in the bride and lines and it fell
down pitch on the roadside, turning sum-
mer>set and the buggy going clear over it.
The horse got up,and was completely stripped
Of harness and bridle-not strap on him.
He appeared bewildered at first but soon
''tOok in the situation and made good time
getting home, thus obliging his master to
come into town and find some other horse.
The Captain gathered up the pieces of his
buggy and the pieces of strap tangled up With
them and hauled them home.
