shortly before 10 o'clock to return TO his

ena, found him lying on the road to East
Helena. just outside the city limits. shortly
before midnight. He was badly hurt, but

get Mr.. Carruthets into his own buggy, but
having to hold his horse with one hand.
was unable to do 10. though he succeeded

matter being referred to the committee ON

said the steed didn't turn ont for ANYTHING
but made a bee line along the road. When
he reached a small bridge down it went.
Nelson said the spokes of the buggy few
fifty feet in the air, and smashed the vehi-
Gle. The horse ran into n Montana Con-
