The stallion that bit the nose off Frank Rlliman, at Freeland, on Sunday, is now tho property of tho gypsies, who at the present are encamped on Alter street. On Monday evening Toney Deliicea, a grocer of that street, visited the camp and was Interested in the horses. One of the animals that attract ed his attention was a pretty stallion. Toney who prides himself on being a judge of good horses wont to the animal, and, as all horsemen do, proceed to the horso's mouth to examine its teeth, to ascertain its age. Toney did not get his hand as far as the mouth, for the stallion made a dive at his face, when Toney, with a rpiick move, took his face out of harm's way, but his chest was exposed and in reach of the little stallion. The stallion saw the fine opportunity and grabbed the coat of Toney. With tho material in its mouth and a grip as firm as a vise, tho horse began to shako Toney. Tiring of this In a moment, It reared ou its hind feet and began to prance. During this performance the poor grocer was in the air and at any moment might bo under the feet of the irato animal, where with a jump the lifo would bo crushed out. Several persons present noted tho predicament of the man and went to his aid. After consid erable difficulty, tho grip of the animal was unloosened and the man freed. After being freed, Toney raised his sleeves and stood off the distance re quired in a prize light. He then asked tho gypsies to let tho horse loose, as he thought that he could defeat it in a fair light. The crowd laughed, but Toney was In earnest and asked for a trial, but this was not given. To pacify tho man it was arranged to have the man and tho horse light last evening. At the required hour Toney was at baud, as was also a largo crowd of tho Dia mond residents, but the gypsy would not allow his vicious pony to light.
