fine horses have been handled in
this city by the United States Express
company which is a very unus hap
pening,' said o. f. Nicholson. this
morning as he endeavored to lead a
large horse from the express car to

The horse was loaded at Hobart and
was billed to Kansas City. He was
an exceptionally large animal and as
he tried to walk from the car he
struck bis head against the top frame
Of the car door and refused to move.
After considerable time was lost the
horse was blindfolded and made to
