"Dick", the brown sorrel horse owned by Richard Hesketh, the mail carrier between Rolla and Dunseith, died suddenly last Wednesday in the livery stable at Dunseith. "Dick" began his memorable career on the road in July 1899, when he was five years old, and has been in continuous service since that date. His aggregate travels would have taken him four and a half times around the world.
