gallop we left the gate- open got to the barn and opened the doors so he could pull right in- side on the barn floor he ran the horses inside the barn load and all and after he got in there the lime commenced to slake and smoke well it didnt do any harm to j the wagonbox or lime but he i had reached the barn just in the i nick of time after the shower- was over he backed the load out i and drove off home the wagon i box and lump lime not much the worse phillip and 1 had a good laugh over the incident and have of ten mentioned afterward what might have taken place samuel koote was a member of
