Mare Invites Friends to Visit

Much annoyance has been caused
year after year in the fall and spring
by stray cattle running wild in
town. Recently a roundup was con-
Quoted and the strays driven out
over the mountains. Among this
bunch was an old gray mare-must
be hundred (or more) years old
she has been a regular visitor to
Glenns Ferry for the past 8 years
chat we know of. No one owns her
and report has it that she was left
here by some campers who decided
she was too old to be of further use
to them so they left her for Glenns
Ferry to pension off. The last time
she was picked up alone, bill was
presented to the village board read
ing something like this "$... for
driving out one old gray mare so
that she would not come back" The
mystery surrounding what had ac-
tually happened to her was solved
within "a hours, for She returned,
accompanied by another old mare,
colt and two old mules. Evidently
she resented the treatment accorded
her and wished this additional stray |
stock on us. We have often heard |
1t said that cat has nine lives and
no matter what you do to it, it will
surely come back, but we have come
to the conclusion that this particular
specimen of horseflesh has 999 lives,
for she not only comes back but she
issues an invitation to every gol-
darned stray in the country to come
back with her to enjoy the beautiful
scenery hereabouts and partake of
The feast provided by our hard-work-
ing citizens who have nice lawns.
We would respectfully suggest to
he village board that they turn this
natter over to our worthy mayor
with full power to act," and that he
personally and individually take her
lown some dark night to the Snake
river and reverently and gently l
'ush her i'm, but be sure and hang
ten-ton rock around her graceful
leck or that blamed old mare will
most assuredly come back and pos a
IDLY bring with her a whole shoal G
f sturgeon or some other unknown l.
pecies of Shiny creatures from the 4
ct undiscovered depths of the Snake e
iver bottoms. Gosh darn it! You q
an never tell what that old mare a
going to do next. l
