KICKER.
This morning about 1913 as one of
our farmers was driving into the city,
the horse took notion just in front of
the meat market of Mr.. Smart to kick
loose from the buggy. The kicking was
fast and furious until the horse got one
leg over the singletree, when he began
to below more like bovine than a
morse, and in less than two minutes
there were about $50 people standing
around, good portion of them giving
orders how to get the animal loose from
the vehicle, your correspondent not ex-
cepted. Finally the brute was looaened,
after breaking the shaft, and vigorous
succession of kicks sent the crowd in
all directions. The only damage was
broken shaft, the horses leg badly
cut, and one of the occupants of the
buggy either fell out or was pushed out,
but was not hurt.
