DIFFICULTIES. 531 



Wild Pete (Case 8, Fear) was entirely worthless be- 

 fore I took him in hand. He was not only broken for 

 nothing and made a safe family horse, but cost me in loss 

 of time and expense nearly one hundred dollars. The 

 Yates Horse (Case 8, Fear), the Watson Horse (Case 3, 

 Kicking), were broken for nothing. The Chapman Horse 

 (Case 9, Kicking) was not only broken for nothing, but at 

 a loss of time and expense to me of fully fifty dollars. The 

 McVay Horse (Case 7, Kicking) I not only broke for 

 nothing, but pledged to forfeit $500 if I could not drive 

 her gentle in forty minutes. The Hettrick Horse (Case 

 4, Kicking), which before treatment was positively worth- 

 less, and one of the most vicious horses I ever saw, was 

 made a safe and valuable horse without a penny's compen- 

 sation. The Malone Horse (Case 2, Kicking) I was com- 

 pelled to buy at a large price to show that I could break 

 him. For the Stevens Stallion (Case 10, Kicking) I gave 

 a personal guarantee of $500 that he should not be in- 

 jured, and in addition I promised to pay $25 if I did not 

 make him gentle in fifteen minutes. 



The Allegan Horse (Case 10, Subjection) one of the 

 most vicious horses known in the Northwest was broken 

 for nothing. The Roberts Stallion (Case 11, Subjection), 

 regarded so vicious as to be practically worthless, was 

 broken at a great risk, and without pay. The Omnibus 

 Horse (Case 3, Subjection) was not only broken for noth- 

 ing, but in addition several men passed into the class free. 

 The Brookville Horse (Case 2, Fear), though previously 

 worthless, was made a safe and valuable horse for nothing, 

 and the owner passed into the class free. The Wilkins 

 Horse (Case 6, Subjection) was not only broken for noth- 

 ing, but to obtain him to experiment upon I was compelled 

 to pledge $1,000, as a guarantee against injury, and a for- 

 feiture of an additional $100 if he could not be made gen- 

 tle in forty minutes.
