EMILY WERB 4iGiIS.
The Mayor Declines to Insure N
Verdict and She Carries case
E,Iseuhere.

On Saturday Miss Emily Webb applied
70 Mayor Almond Tor u warrant for the
arrest OF l.. w. Stiiham, on a charge of
cruel treatment of n horse, the allegation
being that the horses mouth was badly
cut by the bit. The Mayor was willing
to issue the warrant, hut Miss Webb
wanted him also to insure decision Of
the case in her favor, which the Mayor,
Of COURSE declined to do.
Miss Webb then went tn Esquire Cole
and made the same request, stating, AS
She had previously done to the Mayor
that she feared her evidence would be
ontwcighed by that of "paid witnesses.
Like the Mayor, the Esluir" said he
would have to be governed in his decision
by the testimony. He was not aware
Of the previous application and inquired
il she had been anywhere else, to which
Miss Webb replied that she had ''come
right here"
Finding that she could not have a
favorable verdict insured, she took out 4
warrant at venture and the case was
heard before the Esquire in the evening.
At the hearing, the proof was very clear
that the horse had run away and that the
injury to its mouth was caused by the
handling of the reins that was absolutely
necessary to stop its headlong course and
that Mr.. Stidham had finally to run into
a pile of bricks before he succeeded in
doing this. The Esquire dismissed the
case, suggesting to Mr.. Stidham that he
had better send the horse into the country
and keep it there until it was thoroughly
| cured of its runaway propensities.
