John Rasmussen enjoyed(?) one of
life's pleasant experiences last Sunday
He wanted to make a trip and went
to the pasture after his horse. The
horse however didn't want to make
the trip (expect it knew where John
was going) and SO, refused to be
caught. John coaxed and threatened
and tried to argue the horse out of
its notion, but it continued to go
tearing about the fifty acre pasture
at 2:10 gait. Finally two or three
men came and helped to corner the
"pesky' creature. We expect John
wasn't in very pleasant humor Sun
day evening.
