O'Clock Alden Badger came UP Plank
hill with his pair of big black horses.
He had stopped at the top of the hill
IN front of the G. f. Davis store. A
big horse fly was bothering one horse
anu in trying to remove the pest Mr..
Badger frightened both horses and
they started toward Main street with
the driver on the pole and trying TO
reach the reins. When in front of c.
L. French's residence they turned and
ran over the sidewalk and struck a
tree. In so doing one of the horses
feet was caught between the wheel of
the wagon and tree. Mr. Badger
tried TO pry the wheel away from the
foot with a bar, but could not do so.
Before he could get help the horse
that was securely caught gave an ex-
ira yank and pulled the foot away
and at the same time it cut or broke
some arteries, Which bled terribly.
The horse was hurried as fast as pos
sible to the Clowse blacksmith shop

blood and bandaged the injured foot.

again in time. Mr.. Badger was some
what famed during the fracas, and
