engaged Mr Jordan put a horse in the
stable that was bad about kicking and
warned Mr Valentine to be careful
abou t going into the stall Mr Howe
thinking he had seen the horse before
was afraid to go into the stall but upon
being assured by Mr Jordan that the
horse was harmless proceeded when
he was kicked by the horse breaking
h is leg from which he has suffered a
great deal and being an old man will
never have the use Dfhis injured Hmb as

took up a subscription for Mr Howe
but did not turn it over to him on ac
count of his refusing to accept it claim
ing Mr Jordan asked him to release
him from further liabilities for dam
age Mr Howe was given a verdict by
the jury awarding him 1500 and tax
