Old “Nell” the faithful old horse, driven by Ralph Carter for the past 10 years, came to a sudden ending Sunday. She got out of the pasture and fall into a culvert breaking a leg, and had to be shot. An attempt will be made to laise the six weeks old colt. About as pitiable a sight as one saw, was the poor old horse standing down in the ditch with one leg swinging helpless and impossible to get her out. Frank Paggons, was the only man in town who had nerve enough to shoot her. If ever a horse earned an “easy life” in the animal kingdom, this one certainly did.
