A display of something more than
horse sense was given Monday by a
horse belonging to j. I. Randolph. His
little girl was playing in the yard in
which a calf and the horse were run
ming loose. The calf made an attack on
the little girl. throwing her to the

timely rescue there would have been
some seriuos damage done.
