THE HORSES RESCUE. 311 



born two, Mr. Burdick three, all of this firm and many 

 others of this city. There is no discount on tliivS 

 science. Oliver was up here a few days ago. While 

 he was here the man that keeps Mr. Burdick's stallion 

 drove into town The stallion is kept near me. We 

 looked him over. He is as limber and sound as any

 it is understood. 



The next dciy after Oliver was up looking at Mr. 

 Burdick's stallion I went to Auburn. I have traveled 

 over this road on foot many times on this horse busi-
