A IIoRsE THAT NoRoDY- WANTED Early
Yesterday afternoon there was an auction
sale Of a horse at the Auction Store,
on Brady street Mr. VanTuyl entered in
to the spirit of the occasion with his usual
zeal-lwelling vehemently upon his good
points, and warranting the title perfect, etc,
and finally struck the animal off for STA.
Capt Egbert happened to be passing at the
time and thought the price was low for so
fine q looking horse, and as the purchaser
started to lead the horse away, the Captain
accidentally discovered ~. s. on ms
shoulder He Immediately stepped for
ward and claimed tic horse on the part oi
the Government lie inquired FOR the per
son who brought the horse there for sale,
and he was not to be found, neither was
there ANYBODY about who had the relnotcst
idea as 10 who brought the horse there, OF
who was to have the money the purchaser
agreed to pay for him. The circumstance
was very awkward. Capt. f. turned the
horse over to Capt Hunt, who sent him to
the Government stables, where any one hav-
ing a better claim than Uncle Sam, can find
him.
