Otto Schmitz had an exciting expe-
rience with DIR. Cronin's fine stallion,
Mack Wilkes" last week He was
exercising the horse, when for some
reason the animal became angry and
grabbed Otto by the arm The Young
man tried to get away and called to
Mack" to let loose. but the horse only
became the more savage and forced the
young man to the ground biting his
arm to the bone. DR.. Cronin and 9TH
ers heard the disturbance and rushed
10 the rescue, but it was several min
utes before they were successful in
beating the horse off aul compelling
him to release his hold. During the
struggle the horse carrie the young
man by the arm across I'll lot, dis
tance of several rods. Fortunately ne
serious damage was done save badly
lacerated arm. Otto is around again
with his usual pleasant smile.
