Thanksgiving Day Bird Shoot Ends With Horse Misadventure
Dim Rode, James Conway and W Em met Yowell to shoot birds near Woodland on Thanksgiving. They found an old horse and tried to ride back to the railroad, but the horse refused to move. Emmet used his game bag as a bridle, the boys led the animal to a fence, and after mounting the horse still would not budge. Emmet walked, Jim rode, and at the depot they learned the horse belonged to a noted chicken thief being sought by Marion County officers, with a Palmyra court invitation anticipated.
