BILLY HUNTERS
ACROBATIC HORSE
HANDSOME LITTLE DRIVER DE-
vELoPs INTO A BRIDGE WALK
ER AND DID FAMousLY TILL
HIS vAuLTING AMBITION SOON
BROUGHT HIM TO GRIEF.

Walking the high @, NJ bridge in
safety yesterday afternoon, W. a.
Hunters driving horse. Doc" came
to GRIEF when he attempted to do the
stunt on the long trestle on the G. N.
"Y" on this side Of the river.
Mr.. Hunter is thinking of putting
the equine on exhibition for thriller
stunt at the state fairs over the north
wesr.
Mrs. Hunter accompanied Mr..
Hunter to Moorhead yester lay after
noon while the latter was calling on
the grocery trade. While Mr.. Hunter
was in Freeburg's the horse became
frightened at street car but soon
got over his excitement and when he
started to move to the next store the
animal slipped, his heel striking the
runner Of the cutter, causing the
equine to jump and upset the rig.
Mrs. Hunter was thrown into the
street and dragged almost half
a block, when the horse broke away.
The animal ran toward the river, got
onto the high G.. N. main line bridge
and walked over to the Fargo side
without making skip.
Not satisfied with this acrobatic
stunt, doc" became too ambitious
and started over the long trestle work
on the "Y.' He did nobly till within
thirty eeet of the end when he went
through between the ties. He was
finally pried out and taken to the
barn, very lame and tore, but proba-
bly, not seriously injured.
Mrs. Hunter came up smiling and
was none the worse for her exciting
experience.
