Smith street, last night. or early this
morning. A horse valued at $l25 broke
its halter and started for the grain box,
on its way the animal fell into, hole
three feet long and four feet wide. This
morning an attendant found the horse
dead.

There were several arrests made by
the police of the Second. station for
minor offences last night.
While there is considerable building
going on in this section the prospect ls
