An extensive production OF Sapho is
what the Empire Theatre promises for

The horse kept on one. quarter of 8 mile further before he was caught, and no serious cuts or bruises being found on him, he WAS used in harness the balance of the day. When he started from the barn with the trough, one of Hosford's men followed him, who had just previously prepared his team for attachment to wagon, but forgot to fasten one horse to stall before he left him. On coming back, he found the stall empty and shortly after the horse was found back of MT Hosford's resi- dence on his back, with feet 30 fastened he could not rise from where he had rolled off the wall at foot of hill back of MT Hosford's house. The horse evident lv, in the absence of his driver, had con- cluded it was good time to get nip of grass and had walked out of the barn for that purpose, and became entangled in his trappings. By loosening straps and with the persuasion of several by- islanders, the horse again brought him. self on to his feet. He was found to be unhurt and was put at once to his usual work. Altogether it was quite sensa- tional morning for the two truck horses of different teams and varied the usual monotony of life here for several of the villagers.
