the highway near here where
the horse ran into the beer
truck and got killed and
caused the cargo to be spilled
all over the highway? Weil, it
could have been a lot worse if
it had happened a few

Metcalf, and George Dohner
were returning from Boise's
Bible Study Fellowship and
as they headed down the dip.
past Nu Acres Hall road, they
saw a big truck coming from
the opposite directum, and
suddenly, directly in front of
them was that horse, running
up the road
To pass him
meant going into the path of
the truck, now terribly near.
They passed it and missed
the truck by a couple of
seconds. Thank God.
