Who had no line to speak. or work TO do.

A man whom nothing seems TO daunt or tire,

Against his foe and audience. tho world.
But do you note that other actor there.

Man ana Horse nucLed Into the R,ver.

From the DdHes Chronicle,
Henry Boyen had an experience Thursday with 4
horse that was decidedly exciting. Having some
cattle TO look after In the Siimer neighborhood, ho
took a horse TO Rankin's landing. near tho mouth
of tho White Salmon. He bllndfoided the horse
and mounted. and without waiting for the blind to
be lifted the horse commenced TO buck In u manner
that would mako u common cayuso quit Just from
envy. Altar doing the grand and lofty ~tunibling act
Tor several minutes without unseating his rider. tho
vicious brute reached around. caught hold OF
Boyen's leg with his mouth. and tried TO bull him
OF. Failing in this. he deliberately bucEed into tho
river. As he struck deep water he held his head
down and sank.
At this stage Mr.. Boyen had enough. as he didn't
care TO go into the salmon.herding business. SO no
threw himself backward and noatsd or. As he GOT
loose mis- spur tangled In tho horses tail. but no
placed the other foot on tho animals runp and
pulled himself loose. The horse went under long
enough TO drown himself, while Boyeu. having on
all his cowboy toggery, hal a hard struggle to
reach the shore.
The horse was pulled out, but Just turned over
anu died.
