Horse Killed Near Tefft In Very Peculiar Manner.

Tefft Cor. Wheatfleld Review. A peculiar accident resulting in the fatal injury of a valuable horse belonging to Enos -Hibbs; occurred last Friday. Mr. Hibbs was engaged with his team and capstan in removing the Marble Dryland dredge, and when the team was pulling, the harness on one horse broke allowing the capstan pole to swing around with such force that when it struck the horse it severed one leg from the animal completely and broke two other legs. .The horse was shot at once to put it out of its misery. It very, good luck that no one was cldStfYo the capstan when the break happened. The horse was 6he of a matched team and is a serious U-.. loss to Mr. Hibbs.
