According to Orders.

In employing men to work at his
Palo Alto farm in California the late
Senator Stanford gave strict orders
that they were never to strike, kick or
whip a horse. On one occasion, while
at dinner, one of the drivers insisted
that he must see the senator. He was
ushered in, with blood over his face,
which was badly cut. John knocked
me down." explained the man, refer
ring to one of the trainers. "What
did you do?" asked the senator.
Nothing" replied the man. "But you
must have done something. l want
the TRUTH" persisted the senator.
"Well, only kicked a horse" growled
the man, "and John knocked me down"
"Those were Johns instructions" said
the senator emphatically, "and he did
just right"
