Westport, Massachusetts, USA (Westport Point)
1887 - Mare Returns Home

The valuable gray mare recently sold cheap to a Westport, Mass., farmer by the horse railroad company of Fall River, surprised her former friends by trotting into the barn in the latter city the other day with a tattered harness hanging to her. The barn employes tried to drive her out, but she made for her old stall and threatened to make things lively for any one seeking to dislodge her. Nothing has been heard of the new owner, and whether the excitable mare made a meal on him or kicked him and his thrashing machine into Westport harbor, is not yet ascertained.
