been carried out. There is
no reason why such brutes of men should be
allowed to abuse animals who are so much
their superior, and if more of such punishments
were inflicted, that noblest of all animals, the
horse, would receive the consideration which
he is entitled to.
Sam Gillett had a narrow escape on Friday
evening last. He was hauling ore to the Bremen
mill, and just as he was crossing the bridge
over the creek, his horses took fright at the
incoming train and started on the run, drawing
the wagon over to the side of the bridge where
it was upset. Sam was riding the near wheel
horse, which was thrown down, his mate fol-
lowing him. They all went down in a heap, but
by one of those peculiar circumstances which
are continually happening, no one was hurt.
In going over, the heavy wagon tongue barely
grazed Sam’s head. He carries an accident
policy.
