Websterville was killed yesterday on
the Prospect street railroad crossing
Mr. Wobby was doing some trading
for Alex Corey and had left his horse
standing in front of Hidder Habbep's
store while he traded with Mr.. Hab-
bep. He was nearly ready to start
home when Mr.. Habbep suggested that
he tie onto his wagon crate of oranges
which he had purchased and while he
was doing this and standing behind
the buggy his horse jumped at the sight
of an on-coming fiat car. The horse
shoulder by the car. 1t threw him to
the ground, the animal then trying to
get up and tossed his head so as to
strike against the wheel Of the freight
ear, which passed over the animals
jaw. Chief of Police Mitchell was i'm
mediately summoned to take care Of
the animal He came promptly to the
scene and decided that the horse be
shot. Some discussion took place as
to who would shoot the suffering ami
NAL. A. j Stewart, one of the first to
witness the accident, was handed the
gun, which he pronounced little more
than worthless but nevertheless tried
a shot which was ineffective. Mr.
Stewart handed the gun to the chief,
who attempted to demonstrate the
worth of the 32-calibre revolver and did
so, for when he discharged the weapon
it split the barrel nearly two inches
from the end. A second weapon was
brought to the scene and during the
time the chief was gone for the second
gun another discussion arose between
Mr. Stewart and bystander, who
seemed anxious to shoot the horse
When the chief arrived with the gun
the bystander was allowed to handle it
and put the horse out of its misery
The horse and buggy were the property
Of Alex Corey of Websteryille. The
buggy was badly demolished The
damage done is eatimated at $50.
