from peculiar cause recently. One of
his driving horses was found desper-
ately injured a few days ago, its en-
trails protruping from hole torn in It's
body. The horse was so badly hurt
that it had to be killed to end its misery.

most as bad condition. Investigation
showed that both horses had been
gored by a vicious heifer.- Shepherds
