sances take such action as would tend
10 cause an additional outlay on the
part of the resid "nts of Pine Bluff TO

any possibility Of Pine Bluff being
asked to put up any further bonus

switching its tail and got it caught in

that new one had to be ordered. The
horse was pretty badly injured, but it
