Doctor Moore's Bad Luck.
Veterinary Surgeon Moore, whose
headquarters are at the Union stable,
Cross street, had a day of trials and acci-
dents, which although interspersed with
considerable many sick calls, was not
fortunate on the whole. He was driving
to South Attleboro in the forenoon, when
on Broadway the horse took fright at an
electric car and started upon the run.
The further the distance the speed in
creased and the steed became unmanage-
able. The doctor reined the animal into
the large barn OF the Barrow's tavern and
clapboards flew in every direction. The
buggy was somewhat damaged. In the
evening he was on Dexter street attending
a sick honse, and stood beside a buggy
writing a prescription. Along came
horse car, his horse took fright and made
another bad run. The distance of this
| trip was a short one, but a shaft of the
buggy was broken. 1t was after IL
o'clock before the doctor closed his labors
together with getting through with acci-
dents.
