Mr.. Hughes was greeted In Portland

He spoke from the platform where
Raymond Robins, chairman Of the Pro.

An old bay mare Of uncertain age
has been the cause of great commo.

all known to the citizens Of Fairmont
the excitement at Hoult has waxed
and waned until every one in the lit
tie village is now again at peace and
satisfied. That is. every body except
the sexton OF the church, A. G. Marks,
and he is really not in the town as
he lives and has lived for years In a
houseboat which is moored above the
lock near Hoult.
The whole story came to light to-
day when Mr.. Marks came to Fair
mont and asked the county physician
to recommend the county court to pay
for the burial of the horse. It seems
that last Wednesday when the con.
gregation were all gathered in the
church attending prayer meeting tho
old bay mare wandered into me town
and strolled over to the church steps
and there lay down and died.
When the horse dropped ON the
steps out came the startled congrega.
ton to investigate. They saw the
dead horse but could not find no own.

there while every person In the town
sought the owner to compel him to
haul it away. Failing to find him at.
ter day or SO they wicNed the town
authorities to take away the remains
which were rapidly becoming offen.
sive. But no. action was taken.
Finally sexton Marks, of the church,
who Is an Industrious and ingenious
old chap and can build a boat as well
as dig . grave, was prevailed upon
to, haul away the horse and bury the
carcass. Today he came TO Fairmont

NOSE every one In Hoult seems to
think that the horse was more Of q
county charge than anything else.
Anyway they all agree that It was a
stray horse and mighty sick and weak.

steps as a fitting place to die.
