THAT SCHOOL DRUM.-The city grammar
schools use snare drums for marching and
other tactics William Nixon, Truant OFF,
Ger, tried to transport one by riding horse
back the other day. He succeeded. When
on J street near Ninth. something hit the
drum and the music in it went off, to the
CONSERVATION of the frisky horse upon which
the martial instrument was being conveyed.
A horseback runaway at once took place, and
although Nixon is good rider and had no
fears OF being thrown off, he didn't care TO
have an extra amount of music on hand for
the occasion and so let the drum drop
Owing to the speed The horse was making
the instrument did not fall to the ground,
but sailed back, and long piece of Irvine
which was fastened TO it caught fast around
the horses tail and assumed the role of
tin can tied to D dogs rear appendsge. It
played regular shuttle novement-hitting
the grounc and banging against the horses
hind parts at every jump, and occasionally
taking the rider chug in the back. Nixon
| slipped his feet out of the stirrups as
precaution against accident to the horse,
! for if the drum knocked him several
squares through the air in an advance direc
| ton, he didn't want to carry the horse with
! him By he stirrups. Probably more in
| tense situation for making fast time never
| existed, and the horse laid back his ears like
| jack-rabbit and went in. To add interest
and novelty to the matter, one of the bride
| lines Just at this time broke. Though it is
| not uncommon to see ten or tweive-mule
team driven with only one line, it isn't pleas
ant thing, just before anticipated thanksgiving
dinners and family reunions, to be caught
astride of wild horse frightened to death
| by drum tied to its tail and only one line
| in hand. The break occurred just as Tenth
street was reached, and the pulling on one
side only gave the caravan q sudden turn to
| the left, when the drum became detached and
was left behind, but the gallant rider and
| horse shot ont Tenth street like an arrow to
near d, where the runaway was brought to
anchor by being reined into the fence. No
| damage resulted, but the Truant Officer pro-
poses to transport the school drums hereafter
! on foot.
