One OF NekOOSa'S favOrite sons drove
to Frank WitherS' place Sunday after
noon for a call. He thoughtlessly
hitched his horse to a dog kennel in
the yard. not knowing that he dog
was asleep therein. He was in the
house but few minutes when the
dog rushed out of the kennel, which
frightened the horse and it broke
loose and ran away. Moral, never tie
your horse to a dog house.
