Lindsay, Neb., Aug. 24.-Special to
The News: Frightened by the terri
BILE apparition of an automobile an old
Platte county horse belonging to Joe
Engelke was was literally scared to
death, dropping dead as the honk car
passed.
Paul van Ackem was coming home
from Madison in his car when he met
the Engelke team. AS the team was
apparently frightened the machine
was stopped The driver, holding his
horses by the bride, told van Ackem
to pass by, which he did.
AS the machine passed one of the
horses without another stir dropped to
the ground and on close examination
was found to be dead, apparently
scared TO death.
The horses in this part of the coun,
try are becoming pretty well accus'
toned to automobiles and the death of
the old horse at the sight of the in.
noyation of the new century came as
a startling surprise. AS the horse was
an old animal there will probably be
