Horse Scaled at Auto and Breaks Its Leg.

While moving from Jordan tp., to a 160 acne farm near Wheelers, Porter county, Thursday, John A. Gray had the misfortune, to lose a good (horse valued at S2OO by getting its leg broken near the Henry Liters ’ farm south of town, necessitating the killing of the animal. The horse was quite frisky always, and meeting Sheriff Hoover, who was going south in an auto, the animal jumped to one side in such a way as to break one of its fore legs above tihe ankle. Mr. Hoover had turned out to one side of the road and no .blame whatever is attached to him by Mr, Gray. It was just one of those unfortunate accidents for which no one was to blame, and is deeply regretted by Mr. Hoover.
