A bslky horse st the corner OF Custom
House and Dyer streets yesterday after
noon caused quite crowd Of passersby
to Assem- ole TO see what would he done.
What could be done, The horse would
not pull, bat was rather inclined to push,
though he did no. seem to care much
about doing anything The whole trouble
was tnat the horse. not very large one,
had a tig load and got stuck with IL in q
bad place in the street. He did his best
to get out of IL but his shoes were by no
means shaf q @and he could not get the
load started. Instead CT trying some way
of helping him out ofyit the stupid driver
beat and pounded tho willing animal.
The result was that the horse lost his
courage and became timid. He was
finally taken out and hitched to wagon
with much smaller load, but here he
was SO timid that he did not seem to dare
to try to draw for fear he would be whip
ped again. Finally rope was fastened
to the thils and the other end attached
to n wagon In front and the horse at
taohed to the latter started up the whole
outfit. After he once got to going he
went along all right.
