glad to see that you are given every

j. II. Earle, Esq, lost a good
horse last Saturday night by reason
Of an automobile collision, which oc-
Cured in West Union, almost in front
Of Nesmith's store. Mr.. Earle had
left his horse standing in front of the
store, and his son had gotten out Of
the buggy only minute before the
crash came. The automobile, driven
by Ben r. Hopkins, Of Seneca. who
said also that he was the owner of 1t,
came at laundering rate of speed,
crashing into the horse, breakinG z
both hind legs, one leg being broken
In three places. Examination showed
that the animal could not be saved
except to possibly be kept alive and
be in misery indefinitely. and it was
shot as the most merciful means of
disposing Of it, The horse was
thrown some 80 feet, landing in the
rear Of the car, while the buggy was
stripped clean Of harness and horse,
one wheel stripped clean to the hub,
with other damage to the vehicle Of a
minor nature. 1t was by the merest
chance that the accident escaped en-
dangering human life, young Earle
having gotten from the buggy just be-
fore the crash came. J. Il. Earle,
after the accident, and just as the car
was moving off, climbed on the run
ming board and into the car taking
charge Of the steering wheel and run
ming the car to the county jail. Dep
uty Sheriff B. r. Moss took charge of
it there, sending 1t to garage to be
kept locked up until settlement Of the
case is made. There were four other
men with Hopkins, who was about as
cool as the proverbial cucumber in
spite Of his experience. He said that
he had been practically all over the
world, had been in many affairs,
locked up. tried, convicted. fined and
imprisoned, and didn't give ------
what became of himself or the car"
Mr.. Earle, we understand, does not
care to prosecute the case beyond the
securing OF payment for his horse and
buggy. He considers himself ex-
ceedingly fortunate in that h,s son
and himself were out Of the way
when the reckless JOY rider hap
pened along. We understand that
Hopkins was placed under bond for
speeding by the West Union town
authorities.
