Kearns and I put on a rOdeO

said Mickey. 81 got on one
horse and Jack the other. My
skate ran to the barn and
banged my head against the
door and was knocked cold.
"KearnS' horse ran until he
came to a watering trough and
prOpped short. Kearns went
over his head and into the
trough. A friend had to pull
him out or he'd have drowned
in two feet of water. He was
out cold as q mackerel."
Then they called him down
to the ring and he went 10
hard rounds. After the fight
Mickey started to laugh again.
"I'm still thinking of KearnS
in that water trough" he said.
