Ernest Jurries, paperer and painter,
was treated to anything but pleas
ant scene when he emerged from a
home near the corner of North Main
street and 0ssola place recently when
he found his horse which be had teth1
cred by good substantial -hitching
rope. making quick work of demolish-
ing a wagon and a good share OF Its
harness. As is his custom in enter
ing home for work. Mr.. Jurries made
the horse secure by hitching the ami
NAL to the nearest post, but on this
occasion the hitching rope acted as a
moose around the horses neck. With a
few smart shakes of the head the
equine had sufficiently frightened the
rope so that ii became uncomfortable,
land as the neck shaking continued be-
came irresistible, with the result that
it fell to the ground under the noose's
choking effects. The animal was max
ing its best efforts to relieve itself
from the strain by kicking and roll
ing when the painter came upon 1t
and released it from further necessity
of struggle. A rather badly battered
wagon, few broken traces and other
wrecked harness totaled all the dam
age suffered
