That Plank-Walking: Horse. One of our Mt. Pleasant citi zens on Saturday 'evening was in our city for the first time since the Cannon andFetzer Compan's new store covers the alley through which he had ridden many a time. He came up on the bridge and uttering a few cuss words about closing the alley rode right on through the opening where the people en tered to the auction. When he got to the back side he found, a gangway of two planks on the inside and one on the Outside by which to get ovgr the window sill. Nothing daunted he dis mounted and urged his horse up the planks and out beyond when he remounted'and made way for liberty which was threatened in the rear by the city cops. As there are few plank walking m m i i horses some wag got it off that the hors had but; three legs and there were three planks hence the successful project. Mr. M. J.
