A "HORSE" ON THE MAJOR
From Tuesday's Daily
Major George Grissom. head of the
Samaritan Army in this city, has,
to use a dicing expression " a horse
on him." The head of the army that
has been looking after the spiritual
advancement of the community as
well as providing material comforts
for the needy, has felt the need of
some means of getting around and
sought either a used car or a horse
to make the rounds with and finally
located a horse that was donated to
the cause. The major secured the
horse but a trial of the animal re
vealed the fact that the animal was
no Reigh Count. The care of the
horse who had a very poor disposi
tion, was a real problem for the ma
jor for some time, but finally the
animal settled the matter by pulling
stakes and hieing himself away from
the scene of his confinement and has
since been at liberty and the head of
the gospel army is content to let him
go, believing that while it is not the
easiest way, still he is sure to get to
his objective by walking.
A. S. Christ was a visitor in Oma
ha today where he was called to look
after some matters of business in
that city for the day as well as visit
