New Horse Ran Away * Will the investigation into the Canadian Xavy result in .some bia being fired? ^By Orange Va.lley Reporter) .A white steed, owned by Freddie Brown, ran away one day last week. Hiiving just bought a new horse the boys decided to hitch it to a one- horse wagon, and as ono of the boys took hold of the lines, the horse reared and plunged forward, ran down the nearby hill, amid the slumps, leavinjr behind nothing but a wreck. He then headed for the cold waters of the creek and plunged be.\t)nd his depth with harness and staves. This was not an approp- riate time for sw^imming so he was soon trapped. Neighbors were sum- moned and with rails and rope he was soon pulled ashore. He had a real ducking on a cold morning, but did not appear to any the worse for his adiventure. A man in the insane asylum sai fishing over a flower pot. .A visitor apTjroaehed, and wishing to be af- falble. asked, "How many have you caught?" "Yoti*re the ninth," was th* reply.
