The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1909-07-16
SOUTH NEWTANE.
Seen and Heard.

On Sunday night when all was in
Sunday quiet, noise was heard at
Fern Bank cottage, which might have
been bear or an elephant trying to
force entrance into the kitchen. Mrs.
Dole, hearing the sound. awakened Mrs.
Aldrich, who in turn called the maid.
and after getting a peep outside called
her husband, telling him that Prince,
their white horse, was loose and on the
lawn seeking admission. The captain
declared this to be impossible as Prince
was securely locked in the barn. The
white horse must belong to the neigh,
Dor on the hill or to the one in the
valley, for Prince was no doubt dream
ing of horse heaven at this very mo-
ment! Being convinced, however, that
at all events there was white horse
loose and upon the lawn he soon APP
peared upon the scene and made as
rapid progress as possible. being obliged
to dispose of several settees and some
other lawn furniture which came in
more or less violent contact with his
shins as he advanced. Upon arrival at
the spot indicated sure enough, Prince
made his presence known to his master,
who brought him here from Somerville,
Mass. some years ago. Investigation
showed that Prince had given vigor
Gus pull to his halter, swapping the
strap with such force that he fell back
heavily against the roller door behind
him, pulling out staple and freeing
ground and perhaps turning somersaults
over it himself. When once outside he
was more surprised than anybody. A
homesick feeling crept into his heart
and he longcd once more to be in his
own good stable. OF course Prince
didn t know how to accomplish this
and make confession of his sad plight
