In half mile race yesterday after
noon Emshe. a horse owned by Jim
the hoof The horse was a pitiful
sight as he was led away to the stalls
ON three legs, with his broken leg
dangling and the jockey who rode him
cried. The leg was set last evening
and while the limb will probably heal,
the horse will never be able to make a
good run again. There is some ques-
tn | ha
port is that the morse ran against a
post and another is that he stepped
on a rock. There are many little
rocks on the track which might lame
or even cripple horse The track
has been repeatedly cleaned of rocks,
but they keep working up. The acci
dent happened in the start, and the
crippled horse was led 10 the side OF
the track until the race was run, EN-
she is one of the horses Mr., Curl
brought in from the outside and was
good for fair share OF the prize
money.
Poor Emshe,-he was sold three
years ago, when three years old. for
s15 900, and 5000 was offered for him
six weeks ago. His owner. Jim Curl.
when touring California, made ten
starts with him and won as many
races. He is a half mile horse but
has made mile in 1893.
II will be like the funeral of the
baby. Emshes broken ankle has been
placed In a plaster of paris cast and
they will try TO save him, and II they
do. and he finds ne can't run with the

he won't go to the trackside any more
TO hold up his pretty neck and head
and throw out his symmetrical fore
arm to please the girls.

he would probably be as well salts

Everybody is sorry for Emshe.
