Instead OF turning into Broad street the
animal kept straight ahead into the door

the animal jumped. and in coming down
landed upon the picket fence one of the
pckets penetrating the flesh near the hip.
When the animal was seen by the specta-

End crowbars were used in an attempt to
lift the horse up and off the fence, but the
work proved friitless
II was then that an experienced horseman
came along ard, finding that the picket had
penetrated the outer skin ordered that the
NAL was released from his painful position.
When the horse was finally gotten off the
fence he was inside. upon the little grass
