NEW Hampshire NOTES.
Horse Killed by Striking the IRE,


John P. Holmes htched up his pet FIVE
year.old colt last Thursday evening to go
to the depot to meet the train, writes a
Westmoreland Depot correspondent.
Wanting his overcoat, he stepped into the
house for it and when he returned the
horse and carriage were gone. Mr.. Holmes
rode nearly all night and Friday all day.
Saturday he went to Keene and extensive
ly advertised the runaway. Saturday af-
ternoon as j. w. Burbee was driving on
what is called the middle road to Walpole
he discovered the lost team in a woods,
the carriage overturned and broken some,
and the horse lying few feet beyond
dead. The horse apparently turned into
the woods, and the carriage was overturned
by striking a tree. The horse then cleared
herself from the wagon, going forward at
fearful pace, striking her head against a
tree, either breaking her back or injuring
her so badly that she never got up. Mr..
Holmes feels severely his loss, for the colt
was great favorite and valuable one.

informed the company that it must dis
charge the motorman. The company

agreement.
