ALSO A little episode in this quiet town Saturday evening--A young man more used to telegraph wires than to lines of a harness, took his best girl out riding with liveryman Bloxham's best rig. All went well until they reached town on their way home when he turned out and drove by another rig and the horse went on around the corner, [up] the hill, across the track, turned in home and up against the barn and fell dead. The couple sitting in the cutter the meanwhile unhurt. We judge the best girl was frightened, for when she was lifted from the cutter, she went home and through the room where her papa was sitting and to bed without telling him a word about the affair. This is the second good horse Mr. Bloxham has lost this winter, but he has his number complete at this writing.
