INTELLIGENT HORSE. Believing Patron Was Overlooked, Re- fused to Be Unhitched and Rdn Back to Customer’s House. ~ Believi: evidently, that on‘ of the patrons in the milk route it \served had been overlooked, a horse belong- ing to Mrs. Bertha Brunms, of HAI street, refused to be unhitched Moaday and, breaking loose, raced, back to the home of the customer 1Lha.t it thought had been forgotten, says the Ansonia Sentinel. The animal was found stand- ing quietly in front of the house of Richard Martin, on Orchard street, in which Hved a family whom Mrs. Bruns served with milk. The customer had been supplied with milk earlier in the day by a member of Mrs. Bruns' fam- ily, who, having occasion to pass that way, took along the milk. The horse did not know this, and when Mrs, Bruns reached home and started to unhiteh the animal it balk- ed. She could not understand what the trouble was, as the horse has al- ways been very docile, and when it turned suddenly and broke away, she was greatly surprised. Being partly unhttched, the animal broke loose from the wagon, which was overturned, and scattered about. Mrs. Bruns was thrown to the ground, but luckily es- caped injury, and regdined her feet in time to see the horse disappear down Hill street. ‘The animal lost a portion of the harness in its flight, but_did not stop until it had reached the Martin house. It was led home by Lewis A. Wright, a neighbor, who happened along. ~The animal seemed contented, satisfled evi- dently that all the customers had been looked- after. It is said that the horse acied strangely when its mistress turned its head homeward, and contra- Ty to its usual custom did not seem anxious to go to the barn. Ready to Shine.
