HORSE RUN OFF; ONE BREAKS LEG.

Rensselaer Wilkes Mare Belonging to Ed Harris of Mt. Ayr, Killed After Being Injured. A good team of horses driven by a son of Ed Harris, of Mt. Ayr, took fright near the depot shortly before noon today, and when near the Catholic church the sled to which they were hitched overturned and the horses were liberated from the sled and driver. They ran a short distance farther and into a tree. The mare fell and it is probable her mate stepped on her, at least, one of her front legs was broken just above the ankle. She was taken to Duvall’s livery barn, where it was decided to shoot her. The mare was worth about S2OO, being Rensselaer Wilkes stock. She was a family pet and Ms. Harris had decided not to sell her at his coming sale, and he prized her above the actual value.
