MAINE 2.30 LIST. 289 
Bailey took Mr. Johnson into his sleigh with the intention 
of giving him a spin down Northport avenue. When on 
Church street the horse shied a little and the sleigh run- 
ning upon the high bank beside the street, both men were 
thrown out. The horse attempted to turn up Grove street, 
but broke through the iron fence at the residence of Capt. 
= Joseph 8. Thombs. The animal, now thoroughly fright- 
ened, went out over the fence again and down Northport 
avenue where he was stopped and brought home. The 
horse seemed to be uninjured save a small cut upon the in- 
side ot the right hind leg. Seven days after the accident 
Mr. Bailey telegraphed to George H. Lailey, veterinary 
surgeon at Portland, who came to Belfast, and on examin- 
_ing the wound discovered a piece of the iron fence firmly 
embedded in the bone, about five inches below the stifle 
joint. Dr. Bailey was unable to remove the iron and sent 
for Dr. Wood of Lowell, Mass., and on Monday evening 
last both surgeons arrived with instruments and worked 
unsuccessfully until midnight. Tuesday forenoon the horse 
was etherized and cast, and with the assistance of Drs. 
Johnson and Lombard and Chas. Baker, the iron was re- 
moved. The piece was the point of an iron picket two 
and a quarter inches long, «bout half an inch thick at the 
base, and was imbedded two inches in the bone. Dr. 
Johiison cut away a portion of the bone before the iron 
could be removed.
