 Sunday a young man and his best girl went for a buggy ride to the Hole-in- -the-Ro Arrived there the horse was unhitched from the buggy and tied to tree while the young couple ascended the hill to view the surrounding country. While thus en- gagged the horse broke loose from the tree and walked away Upon de- scending the young man espied the horse some hundred yards from where he was tied and started in pursuit. That horse was not to be caught, but would allow the man to approach within a few feet and would then light l out again. This was kept up for some time until thoroughly disgusted the young fellow returned to where he 1 left the girl and sat down determined to wait for something to happen. Sev- eral hours went by and the sun was about to bid the couple adieu when a team passed by. The young man hailed the vehicle and stated his trou- ble. The result of the conference was that both were given a ride into Phoe- nix, but about mile from town the
 playful horse was observed nibbline the grass by the wayside.
