The Horse That Got Away

From the September 19, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1943, 75 Years Ago.

"Mr. and Mrs,  Harrison Sibley wondered for a time if their riding horse had been stolen for black market 'steaks.'    However, the horse was found in the rural areas late in the day.  She had merely run away.

"It was about 1:30 o'clock in the morning that Mrs. Sibley called to her husband saying, "Harris, there goes our horse."  Mr. Sibley thought she had been dreaming and paid no more attention until daylight.  Then he discovered true enough  the horse was gone.

"An examination  of the pasture fence  disclosed the gate locked but hoof marks  brought to light that the horse had jumped  an eight-foot fence."
