Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1908 — POOR JOHN CARR. [ARTICLE]

POOR JOHN CARR.

Mike Duffy and editor Carr were in the buggy drawn by a broncho, Wednesday. Mike was taking Mr. Carr to his home on Third street. Mike was telling him things to print in his paper. The point of Mr. Carr’s answer struck the broncho where he lives. . The cayuse with the reading on him protested. He kicked the dashboard off the buggy and stripped himself of the harness. Mr. Carr got up to climb out over the tail board. When he was’nt looking the broncho kicked him hard where he could feel it but couldn't see it and John described a graceful arc and landed in a clump of dog fennel. He has been eating his meals off the mantle since and his thoughts are thunk in red.—Fowler Republican.
