Serious Accident to ssLottie b."
w. L. Bailey's nine months old colt,
Lottie B, was seriously injured this
week and will probably die in conse-
auence. The stallion, Volunteer Co
lumbus, broke the door of his pen and
came into the yard where LOttie B was
and bit the colt in the back, cutting off
some of the cords and taking out a
large piece of flesh. Lottie B was
sired by Golden and considered of
more value than Volunteer. Mr..
Bailey had been taking extra care of
the colt in anticipation of the coming
fairs. It is not thought the colt will
live and if it does it will be of little
value.
