VALUABLE HORSE
KILLED ITSELF

Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 30.-The
spirited little black horse belonging to
F. I. Fox killed himself when the team
ran away yesterday afternoon about
8 o'clock. The horse, which has been
driven to the Fox delivery wagon for
several years, has always been eX
ceedingly spirited inc has run away a
number of times before without any
apparent aso This time the team
vas left standing in front Of the Fox
home on West Sixth street, and the
nan had scarcely left them, when it is
thought the little horse started run
ming, the mate reluctantly following
suit. Tearing loose from the wagon
they turned north down the avenue,
then west on Seventh street, and were
nearing the Farmers railway crossing
when, in some unknown manner the
horse must have slipped and fallen,
the neckyoke penetrating the base Of
the animals neck I'early a foot, sever
ing arteries which caused it's death in
less thar Ave minutes. The horse was
undoubtedly running at a terrific rate
of speed for it would take a good deal
of force to run a blunt neckyoke
through the flesh of a horse and in
nearly a foot. Both horses were
thuroughbreds of the Morgan breed.
