blind horse hired for a few days, and
was keeping it in Mrs. Mesnar's stable
on Rex street between 7Gh and 9Th. On
Wednesday night the animal wandered
out of the stable into the garden, struck
a patch Of growing corn and feasted on
that, after which he wandered further,
and next struck an open sink hole just
dug, into which he pumped head fore
most, breaking his neck, and thus he
was found in the morning. 1t was some
