HE KICKED.
Yesterday afternoon a man who made
the reporter promise that he would not
print his name had a funny experience on
Pawtucket avenue. He stopped his team
TO talk with an acquaintance and when
he tried to start the nag up again the
animal objected 8hd proceeded to give a
practical illustration of just how much Of
a streak Of ''cdssedness" a medium sized
equine could carry.
He filled the air so full OF horse shoes
for a few minutes that the vehicle to
which he was attached was threatened
with immediate and speedy destruction
and then settled down into an impassive
period of rest from which he refused to
be coaxed The driver tried all the
schemes he could think OF to get the
horse TO move on and then decided that
he was In no hurry and proceeded to hitch
the refractory animal TO pole which
was handy and then awaited develop
ments.
The horse decided that he wanted to
follow up the next trolley car that came
along and took advantage OF the fact that
the driver was sitting on a stone wall in
stead OF the wagon To break away and
make a spirited run UP the street As
far as the reporter has been informed he
is still running.
