Steve Henderson, of Somers, was
driving a horse on Sixteenth street in
Racine last Saturday. The animal be-
came frightened and started to run.
| The owner steered the horse into a
ditch which was covered with a crust
of snow and it fell, striking its breast
against the catch basin and was SO
badly hurt it died in a few moments.
Mr.. Henderson is poor man and be-
lieves that the city Of Racine ought to
pay him for the horse, as the ditch was
dangerous one. At the next meet
ing of the council he will ask that city
to pay him $50.
A reason why stupid people do so
much harm in the world is that they
possess confidence in their own judg-
ment only proportionate to their want
of intelligence. Conscious of their in
tentions, and seeing only their own
little strip of horizon, they march on
with an assured step, and become
aware that it is possible to be mistaken
only when the mistake is already made
and the mischief done. Experience is
of little avail. That particular mistake
will probably not be committed again,
but some other will. The way always
seems straight and easy to those who
can see only yard or two.

was necessary in all such cases. Point
ing to the large lock boxes he remark
ed: What is there to prevent mans

glasses to one side or breaking them,
in fact, and robbing merchants or
others of valuable letters or papers?"
He said no appeal could be considered
without the appropriation for watch
man.
