A Sprained Knee.-A sleepy
horse, a little noise, then a sprained
knee, and the prospect of a few
days in bed was the experience yes
terday afternoon of F. H. Johnson,
lineman employed by the Browns
vile Telephone Company Mr.. John
son with several others was working
on the telephone line near the Bla-
lack spur. Yesterday afternoon at
quitting time he put his tools, etc.,
into the wagon, and crawled upon
the seat himself. Mr. Johnson, how
ever, failed to notify his horse that
it was time to go home The animal
was enjoying a quiet nap at the
time, and was not aware of the
presence of Mr.. johnson in the wag-
on until the laroer, in reaching for
the lines, made a scraping noise
with his feet. Startled by the noise,
the horse, who in all probability
had been dreaming of firecraekers,
automobiles or other hideous things,
and thinking probably that a ben
zine buggy" was upon him, gave a
sudden leap into the brush, throwing
Mr.. Johnson out of the wagon and
badly spraining his knee Though
in much pain, Mr.. Johnson managed
to drive to town and has been con-
fined to bed since reaching home,
while the injured knee is being at
tended to.
