LONG RUN OF TOUGH LUCK
Huntsville Hotel Man Suffers Series
of Minor Misfortunes
This Week.

From Huntsville comes the premier
hard luck story of the year. Huntsville
is city of about 1900 people twelve miles
east of Ogden. Chris Mortensen propri-
etof OF general store and the one hotel
of the settlement, is the unfortunate vic
tim
Last Monday evening a party of nunt-
erS from Ogden drove over to Morten-
sens place and asked for board and lodg-
ing for the night. Chris, who is a most
accommodating fellow, proceeded to nre-
pare lodging quarters for the party. Aft
er dinner had been served, Mortensen was
invited to go with the hunters the rtxt
day as guide, and agreed to do so. That
night his new $50 saddle was stolen from
his barn. He searched the town. looking
for his property, and finally found an
other which he borrowed for the occa-
sion. He then returned home, to learn
that in stampede among his cattle dur
ing his absence a prize Durham bull had
escaped and a COW had been so badly
cut up by contact with barb wire fence
that it was necessary to shoot the animal
to end its misery.
Mortensen next went to the stable to
saddle his horse and found that ii ad
thrown a shoe. He took his steed to the
village blacksmith shop to be re-shod.
Hitching the animal in front of the
smithy. he went to a grocery store
block distant Upon returning he discov-
cred that the horse had broken loose and
escaped and could not be located
This run of hard luck began to wear on
MOrtenSen'S nerves and he summoned the
town marshal and the precinct constable
to aid him in locating the horse and bull
The fellow was finally forced to give up
his hunting trip and it is reported that
he is now looking for some charm tfat
Will break the spell of misfortune that
seems to be enshrouding him.
