y serious problem in the management
OF horse was presented on Wednesday
afternoon for solution by those WORTHLESS
who always appear when anything hap
pens. a man drove in from neighbour
ing town and hitched his horse to the
iron railing across the street from the
kidder shop. A big locomotive came
along presently and made a terrific rack
ct, which so frightened the horse that al
though his owner had him by the head,
he attempted to jump the railing. He got
the front half of his body over, but there
he stuck. The owner and the bystanders
removed the harness without trouble and
then sought to release the animal from his
uncomfortable position. No one cared,
apparently, to take hold of his hind legs
and help HIM over. After awhile it oc-
Cured to wise man that the way out of
the fix was to cut the rail. Accordingly
a pipe-cutter was obtained from a Plumb
er's and section of the wrought-iron
piping forming the railing was cut out.
That done and the horse let down, the
owner and the crowd looked relieved.
