The horse was liberated and found to be seriously bruised but not ruined. The boy was spectator of the disaster from the road, hay ing let go the strap when he saw that the l 'siig was up'' with the team. It was thought by some that the boy and the strap would be warm friends if MT. Stewart caught him be- fore night.
