Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 October 1889 — Not the Kind He Wanted. [ARTICLE]

Not the Kind He Wanted.

“Had a narrow escape with that horse of mine this morning.” “Is that so?” “Yes; he started full speed down the carriage road with the whole family in the surrey, lines dragging and no one to hold him. , Luckily the gate was fast. He ran up against it and stopped.” “Well, I should sell him.” “Oh, I don’t know. Any horse might do that” “Maybe, but I wouldn’t have a horse that stopped just as he struck a fast gait?’—Detroit Journal.
