Two Horses Killed

George C. Bird who resides on his farm about a mile below Andover visited his pasture field last Friday morning to bring in his two horses that he had turned out the night previous. The animals were missing but after a search of a few moment he found the animals alongside of the Sussex railroad track, a short distance from the field. One horse had its neck broken and was dead, the mate was lying near with a fractured leg and had to be killed. How the accident occurred is a mystery. It is believed however that the animals strayed from the pasture on to the railroad track and were either struck by a passing train on the Sussex road and fell through what is known as Dry Brook bridge, near Whitehall culvert. The trainmen report that they have not run into any animals in a long time and there is little doubt but that both animals fell from the bridge while going down the track. Both were valuable animals, proving a considerable loss to Mr. Bird.--New Jersey Herald.
