At Fifth and Locust streets at about
1890 clock this morning was witnessed
az amusing incidcut which followed u
boys brilliant idea OF using his labol- saw
ing property. The boy, who has Il very
nice sled, and who is also the owner of Il
billy goat, conceived the idea of coupling
the two together to save him the trouble
OF pulling his sled up hill. after having
made the descent in c"asting. \ set OF
harness Wis impro,i>ed and the goat was
| bitches! up. Everything passed oft
smoothly while the goat WAS hauling his
load Of humanity up the hill and many
were the envious glanccs shot at the team,
and its owner by less fortunate boys, but
when the goat was started down the
hill the trouble began. The sled
wanted to go faster than the
goat was willing to take it, ami
several times bumped against the animals
hind legs. almost knocking it oil its feet.
Finally his gHa;Ship became irritatca and
took the sled and boy down the hill even
faster than either of them cared t. -.
When about hal:' way down the sled wlS
upset ami the bov dumped into the snow,
but the goat and sled kept on, until, on
reaching the house at the corner OF Fifth
and Locust streets, Il break was made for
the open front duor. which was cleared at
8, bound and general CONSERVATION created
on the inside Tie team was ousted i'll Il
short time and taken to it's home, and there
the goat at least will probably remain, f':'
we are assured the experiences OF the boy
were Of such !. nature that he will not
further follow up his idea"
