ernoon was that of Harry Kinney or

suit was brought to recover $3.50
claimed to be the value of a horse
which was so badly injured at Mil
Ter Hill in Herman Center on July
Attn by being run into by a truck
driven Ly Mr.. Browns son, Carroll
Brown that it had to be killed.
The plaintiff claimed that it was
due to negligence on the part of the
defendant that II c accident occurred
and that the plaintiff used ordinary
care himself. The defense answered
with general denial of liability and
said that IL was not negligence on
the part of the defendant that the
accident occurred but it was due
rather to negligence of the plaintiff.
A very brief story of the case is
that Clarence McCollough was TAX
ing four western horses for Mr..
Kinney which he had purchased that
day from a carload of horses from
C. j. Worthen of Bangor. McCul-
Tough rode one of the head pair of
horses and the rear pair were tied
tC the tails of the front pair. Mr..
Brown with his son, who was driving
was taken a load of furniture from
Bangor to South Paris having left
Bangor little after midnight.
At Miller Hill the auto hit the
nigh rear horse, which according to
the defense reared and came into the
car with his front feet, demolishing
and putting out of condition the
steering gear. smashing the wind
shield and damaging the front or
the car. In the accident the Brown
boy lost one eye. The defense
claimed they were going about 20
miles an hour.
