lost his hold and was thrown over the
sidewalk on to the McDougall lot, ter
ribly frightened, but not hurt The
horse, after doing some promiscuous
cultivating about Mr.. Baldwin's yard,

front of the Owen store. By some
means he pulled off the iron cap of
the hitching post, becoming frighten-

village, where he was thrown down
and caught by Mr.. Powell. The horse
had his jaw broken and two front
teeth knocked out
