The horso was tied to a fence, and, b eeoniiiifr restive, broke awav and galloped along the road. It was caught later by Mr Binder, who was riding another horse. As he was leading it back the saddlo worked round underneath the one he was leading, with the result that it commenced to kick and buck, trying to get rid of the saddle. It put 'so much energy into tho business that it must have strained itself. The greatest difficulty was experienced in getting the horse oil the road on to the bead), and m about ten minutes it was dead. Mr Binder was rather unlucky as ho bought the animal only a few days ago, and the day before the accident refused an oiler by which he would have moio than double the mirchaso price.
