Mcdonald. The next day the broken leg
was set, but the animal had not yet be-
come used TO handling the broken limb,
and broke il at another place just above the
first break. The second break Was set

station 10 an other, a distance Of three
miles. They go: on the train at Rising

ice after the person who has refused them
ride. Such Insolence on the part OF the
boys Is IneXcusabie. and some day they
will get hold of a acountrymln who will have
them arrested and they and their parents
viii have to answer belOr a Justice of the
Peace for the assault. Parents who have
