No one seemed to know whether It l was the termination of a runaway or 1 whether the rig had been deserted a1- l ter the horse dropped in his tracks. l The appearances would indicate that l the latter theory is the most plausible. 1 Officer David took the horse to the l livery barns, where it is now belng cared for The animal appears to be none the worse for it's experience.
 The horse seemingly is lively i roadster It's knees were protected by 1 pads when it was found and the man. | ner in which it was harnessed would indicate that it was accustomed to rapid travel. The police are incline to suspect that the outfit was either stolen or was hired for the day, the
 driver deserting it when it fell ex- hausted.
