horse near the plaza. When ne went
to remount he found someone had tied
the stirrups tightly behind the saddle
Mr.. Coleman is below medium height
and his horsA is romewhat above. He
found the complication caused by this
circumstance intensified by another cir

erously creased that he couldn't climt
into it and that he could not have re-
mained in it if he could have crawled
| into it.
