Horse Smashes Automobile
A gentle gray h ~se answering to the
name of Maud and belonging to Doc"
Skillen, has turned the scales on the
automobile, for she literally kicked
one to smithereens last night, and it
will take fully 5000 to put the machine
into running order again.
Maud was hitched in the alley In the
rear of Skillen's, when Frank Thomas
drove out of the garage, running so
lrapidly that he could not stop, and so
ran full tilt into the horse. She re-
sented the infringement of her rights
to quiet Sunday rest and began kick
ing with such force and regularity that
within few seconds the front wheels,
the radiator, seat and lanterns were
loose and flying in every direction.
Thomas jumped for his life at the sec
ond kic,., and none too soon, as the
funny papers for little while in the
alley, but finally Maud quit kicking
and resumed her siesta.
