string was so broken up that he has
never raced horses since.
The Sick Horse.
Nutbearer was taken to a hospital
in ST. Louis kept by DIR. Darling. He
had q bad case of pneumonia as a
result of his accident DR.. Darling
pulled him through. Mr.. Hubinger
took his horse then to his farm in
Iowa. Later he was shipped to Tex
as again, where he spent the winter
OF 10000.
In the spring of 1904 he was
brought up here to New Haven where
he was taken to Mr.. Hubingers sta

George Dudley's place in Mt. Car

been the target for sundry attacks
from others in the profession, and,
being of German blood Nuubearer's
owner probably remembered the great
Goethe's lines:

Second Operation Successful.
An operation was performed by DR..
Atwood at a place below where a
rubber tube had been inserted by Or.

5000 was inserted. The wound about
the opening Of the tube healed up sue
cessfully and from mere shadow Of
horse Nutbearer began to take on
some of his old looks again. The tube
was made with an inner section In
such way that it would be easily taken
out and another put In place so that
each could be washed in turn.
At later time another operation
was performed by DR.. Atwood at q
place Just below the head and a long
err tube inserted. At the time Of his
death the opening in the neck had en-
tirely grown over and the tube-open-
ing could not be easily seen.
The tube ran through section OF

all gone. without the tube he would
not live minute. In February. 1907.
Nutbreaker did half mile in front OF
a sulky at the Elm City track in 1903.
He was considered the greatest money!
getter that Mr.. Hubinger ever had.
