More About Doc Corker. Horse Recovered Today.
Liberty Bend-July 30, 1908. Doc and some of the boys went out this morning and brought Doc’s horse in. They had a lot of trouble finding him. The bridge had went down the creek in the night and took the old mare with it. They hunted for about an hour this morning when they came suddenly across her about a mile and a half down the river. They got the wagon down and used some ropes to get the old mare out of the creek and then they placed the old mare in the wagon and brought her home this morning. They reached here alright and Doc is working on the mares legs today. He says he thinks he can cure her.
