other DAY With horse that had been bitten by
mao dog. Ryuo was driving along a lonely
road IN q blackboard drawn by one horse. He
heard the clatter OF hoofs and saw a huge
white horse pursuing him. Flakes of green
saliva flew from the jaws of the mad brute
Whlie It's eyes were widely expanded AS the
animal tore away along the road it gave vent to
unearthly shrleks. Ryno realized that il was a
race for life and he dashed his horse now
wnlnner1ng with fear, into terrific run.
The mad animal gained steadily. and
was soon swapping and biting at the
blackboard, wheels and at the driver
and horse. Ryno dashed the crazed
animal continually with his why, but it had no
e1ect When the horse of Ryno was about to
fall from exhaustion, passenger train ap-
peared and attracted the mad horses
attention. After gazing at the train
for a moment the brute jumped
high fence and ran across the field and began
the race with the passenger train. The en-
glneer put on steam and the passengers raised
tne window to see the race. Revolvers were
drawn and the brute received a number of shots
but kept up the chase for half mile when it
dropped in pit and was subsequently killed by
some section men.
