George Nickerson of North street,
Farmingdale, Saturday found in his
pasture a horse with wagon attached.
The animal gave evidence OF being
hard driven, and appeared to be suffer-
ing from the heaves. He turned the
animal over to Agent Blaisdell of the
Humane Society, who is keeping him
awaiting the coming of his owner to
claim him. 1t is thought that possibly
the animal may have been stolen and
that the party taking him did not dare
to drive him by daylight and SO drove
him into the pasture, expecting to start
on again with him after nightfall.
