WANTS TO GO HOME
HORSE BOLTS FROM SALE MEETS A SAD END The residents of Edgeeumbc received n ]olt to the even tenor of their Avay" when a horse sold at the recent horse fair decided that he was a one man horse and spurned his new owner. He was sold originally with collar and hames—then changed hands again immediately after the sale, being sold this timoj without collar and hames. When his new ovyner attempted to catch him he promptly bolted for the railway line knocking down a telegraph post and generally disorganising the telephone system ai Edgecumbe for a day or more. Still charging mildly along the line he met the train at the business end and after a tussle with the engine he passed in his checks. Was this even horse sense?
