Nash, five years old, was Jashed to" the back of the | animal, on Toesday, by her mother, Mes. Nellie Nash, of Wilkesharre. Fifteen minutes later the little ome was dead, her head bruised and man. gled from striking stones in the road, . Mrs. Nash and her daughter came down from Wilkesbarre for a short visit. Later they started out to call on a friend, Howard Raisch, about a | quarter of a mile distant. To please the child, Mrs. Nash tied her on the back of one of the farm horses and mounted another herself to make the trip. Hardly had they started, however, when the child began to slide off the horse's back. The ropes slackened with the motions of the animal and the lit- one was soon hanging head down un- der the horse. The frightened animal could not be stopped, and ran on down the road to | the Raisch home, the frantic mother | following on the other horse as fast | as she could ride, screaming for help. When the horse was caught, and the | child released she was dead. Her head had been frightfully cut and bruised by striking stones in the road as she dangled under the horse and by kicks from the animal's hoofs. - GIVEN A CHANCE, Devine Let Off, But He Must Leave City. .

Oliver and the cook of the vessel, who were in there at the time, would not tolerate that sort of thing around his place. While they were there Oliver had given Devine $5, which he refused to accept, and at an- other time had given him $1, which he had given back to him.
