McNEAL Lost A Valuable Horse
[Welland Tribune, 2 August 1895]
C. McNeal, one of our local liverymen, lost a valuable horse yesterday morning. On Sunday he hired a horse and buggy to two Englishmen, named Baker and Hart, employed at the Cork Factory. About 1.30 yesterday morning he was awakened by the above men, and told that his horse was in a ditch on King Street. Hurrying over to King Street he found the poor animal dead in a ditch near the B &G railway tracks. It had apparently ran away and fallen into the ditch and been drowned. Both occupants of the rig left the animal to its fate instead of trying to rescue it; it had fallen in such a way that it could not help itself or keep its head above water. After calling Mr. McNeal both Baker and Hart skipped and have not yet been found. The horse was valued at about $250.
