HORSE SAVED HIM.
O, E.. Allen Had q Strenuous Exper
ience Last Thursday Night.

o. L. Allen of the Johnson'Allen
Wholesale Grocery House of Gale.
ma had an experience last Thurs
day night which he won't forget
soon. The following from the Jop.
lin Globe best tells the story:
while driving home from Baxter
Springs Thursday night o. +. AL
Ten, who is connected with Galena
wholesale grocery house, had an
experience with three hold-up men
a mile or so west of Lowell, but was
saved from being robbed by his
horse becoming trightence. <
For several months Mr.. Allen
has been in the habit of driving
over part of the territory in which
his house does business and has
made a practice of driving to Gale
ma from Baxter Springs. He also
does part of the collecting for the
house aud usually has with him a
.suug sum of money. Thursday
night he lelt Baxter Springs about
40 o'clock and few moments later
met with the experience that might
have cost him al least 5000. He was
diving up a little hill when hie
horse became frightened aud jump
ed TO one side of the road. Mr.. AL
len reached for his whip and as he
did 80 observed two men and dog
sitting in the ravine at the side of
the road. About the time the horse
recovered from the first fright he
was scared again by another man,
who attempted to get his hands on
the bride.
"The horse was 80 badly frighteu-
ed that he turned completely
around and started west on run.
The road where the hoid-up was at.
tempted is only wide enough to per.
nit the passing of two wagons, but
fortunately for Allen. when the
buggy was cramped the hind
wheels slid into line. Allen was
armed with revolver, but was un-
able to get to 1t because of his ef-
forts to control the horse.
"The men attempted to catch the
: buffgy, bat the horse was going too
fast for them. Allen drove TO Rax-
ter Springs and was accompanied
back to the scene by George Peter
son. There was a covered wagon
near the place, but Allen wac uu.
able to identify any of the men who
we're with the wagon. However. he
was reasonably sure that the dog
lhat greeted them was the one that
was with the fellows who attempt
ed 10 rob him.
"As near az could be learned Mr..
Allen had about $500 in money and
shout $500 in checks in his grip,
which was in the bottom of the
buggy. He hss concluded 70 make
