Tn"i,,iVi i vri'V't' MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF HORSES OF ROB'T PROPST During the past few weeks It. L. Propst of near" Mynard has sufTered the loss of two valuable 2-year-old colt, and the cause of their death seems shrouded in mystery. They were on the farm of Mrs. Goodwin, eight miles west of Plattsmouth, and when they were last seen, were apparently perfectly healthy and there was not the least sign of there being anything wrong with them. Mr. Propst a few days later visited the farm and was startled to find one of the colts lying in the pas ture where it had been turned out, and the animal was perfectly lifeless, but it was not thought anything was wrong until a day or so later another colt was found a mile west of the farm along the roadside dead, and the circumstanren in the case point strongly to the fact that the animals received some assistance in their death. The loss of these fine animals is felt quite keenly by Mr. Propst and he would greatly desire to ascertain the exact cause of their death, and if someone has given the animals any poison he would -make it warm for them.
