began to look for Uncle Sans prop
erty as we'll as his own, luckily he
found his horse picking grass near by
and no serious damage done to any
thing only a few bruises on his own
body and his trousers transparent IN
a great many places. The horse was
recently purchased by him from Rev

and the laugh is on Joe since we tint
he Is not seriously injured. Joe ha'
not charged the accident to the Coun

man that doesn't believe in talkinl

but when he found out that the lon
cared beast had been turned out dul
ing Jones' raid on account Of
fits and incorrigibillty in general b
decided that the County court an
road supervisor were not to blame 70
everything.
