O. F. Olsen, superintendent of the
electrical department of the Portland
Water Power and Railway Company, in
addition to being a good electrician and
a fine fellow generally, is somewhat of a
horse fancier. Not so much now, how
ever, aB he was a few days ago, Own
ing a sprightly two-year-old of goodly
proportions and prepossessing mane he
determined to turn horse jockey for the
nonce and break the colt to suit his own
idea of the way a colt should be broken.
He bitched the colt up on Wednesday,
gently led it across the bridge and
climbed in-the cart and started for the
foothills of the coast mountains . He
had gotten well under way some two
hundred yards from the starting po'nt
when some one or some thing on th
mountain side threw a stone which hit
the young horse in the butt of the ear.
and then fun began. The horse reared
and plunged and became ugly. Olsen
resigned his job and left h's seat. The
horae and cart fell over the bluff
and did not stop falling until they
reached the railroad track two hundred
feet below. There was not enounh of
the cart left to make kindling wood tor a
gamp fire. The horse was almost as bad
off and will die. Olsen had hart fail
ure for thirty minutes, and went back
to his job a "sadder and a wiser man,"
vowing thathe-wo.uld never try his hand
at the horse jockey business again.
