continued the pursuit, and rushed

ANOTHER HORSE TRADE.
Rejuvenating = Bono Yard and Gulling .
Minn0aDolitan.

= r I
The true inwardness of rather singular
horse transaction was developed in this city
yesterday, whereby the unusual spirit OF
thrift manifested by some of the parties
concerned, may ultimately result in their
being called upon to rise and explain, in
which event trouble may be expected. A
few weeks since DR.. Stein received Q number
of sale horses, among which was an un-
commonly fine looking animal that bore
the appearance of being thoroughly
sound and healthy horse. The animal had
not Ee,n in DR.. STEMS possession but
q few days, however, before it was
discovered that he was afflicted with what is
professionally known as glanular distemper,
accompanied by pistula, which, in the sec
ondary stages, is considered almost incur
able. The disease was skillfully treated, in
spite of which it daily became more pro-
nounced, when it was finally decided that as
the distemper was apparently incurable, the
horse had better be put out of the way. In
accordance with this conclusion the pro
prietor of the Seventh street
bone-yard was sent for and
instructed to get the animal out of the
way as soon as possible, the agreement being
that the most expeditions way to end his
Sufferinga would be to shoot him. With this
intention the horse was taken away, but as
subsequent developments proved the incin-
orator of defunct equines knew trick that
would double discount shooting, and acting
upon the theory that where life is there is
hope, he proceeded to turn the opportunity
to account.
The condition of the animal by this time
was most pitiable, and in addition to the or
iginal distemper he showed evidence of be-
ing wind CALLED, spawned and knock kneed,
in addition to which the whirl bone was con-
sidered demoralized, Notwithstanding which
he was fendly looked upon as an object OF
profit and emolument. The bonanza, TO,
such he proved, was taken to the country,
and the services of Minneapolis horse doc
tor brought into requisition. Several weeks
of treatment followed, and strange to say the
inherent and ineradicable distempers of the
horse were CLOSED over,
in such manner as to make the
animal temporarily appear like a two time
winner. The rejuvena.e flyer was then put
on the market for sale, and so splendidly
did he show up, that an innocent from Min
neapolis, named Schmidt, was induced to
purchase, giving in return two horses and
$50 to boot. The reconstructed nag was
taken to Minneapolis, and in few days the
purchaser found he had been duped; the old
distemper was breaking out, as violently
as ever. With indignation wrought
up to the fighting pitch, Mr.. Schmidt visited
this city again on Monday, and traced the
transaction as above narrated. A visit was
made to Upham's place on Seventh street
and that gentleman was informed that unless
ample restitution was made the matter
would be legally investigated.
