AT ANY PRICE.
a Glandered Worse of Which Nobody


from man horse for which he paid so5. !
The understanding was, as he alleges, that
the animal was mean and balky, otherwise
he could not have been purchased for the
| money. Indeed, he admits that he was SO
well pleased with his bargain thai he sug-
gested to the selling party to insert in the
bill OF sale that The horse is mean, balky
- -," and that the purchaser is
aware OF that fact He saws the horse was
bleeding from the nose when he first saw
HIM, the cause of which, as explained TO
him, was his throwing himself down in
the stable and beating his head upon the
floor. SCHNEIDER was willing to discount
the horses mean tricks however. as he
considered him fine animal for the sur
prislngly low price asked. He saws he
drove the horse about town and did not
have any trouble with him as to balkiness.
and he began to wonder why the horse was
sold SO cheap; so he applied TO veterinary
surgeon to see if there was anything the
matter with the brute The surgeon in
formed SCHNEIDER that the horse was badly
afflicted with CHAMBERS. He applied to
| another equine physician, who told him
the same thing, and then to a third, who
! assured him that the horse had been
afflicted with the dread disease for a long
time. SCHNEIDER thereupon took the horse
back to the stable on L street. where
he was kept at the time of the purchase,
and left him there. The owner of the
stable was kicking" severely Yesterday
because OF glandered horse being in his
stable, and notified Health Officer Ferral
to take the epidemic horse. The latter had
no power to remove the horse, except upon
| the authority of the regularly commission
| ed Veterinary Surgeon appointed by the
| city authorities; and if he had the power
| to remove him he wouldn't have known
where to take him. No other citizen would
allow a glandered horse On bis premises:
| he couldn't be turned loose on the public
| highway, and there is no vacant chair for
| such guest il Mr.. Ferrals home circle
| Veterinary Surgeon Cutler was, however,
seen last evening, and he has promised to
make close examination of the horse to-
| day.
Some queer complications might arise
out of case of this kind For instance,
| the proprietor of the stable may feel thar he
| has claim for damages against SCHNEIDER
| for placing in his stable a horse which the
| latter knew TO have the CHAMBERS And
| SCHNEIDER thinks that Il fraud has been
committed on him, for which somebody
should suffer, and that he should be repaid
the amount of the purchase money The
man who sold SCHNEIDER the horse NAV
| claim to have been an innocent purchaser
| himself and ignorant of the animals con-
| dition, in which case he would naturally
demur TO being cinched." In the mean
time the horse is doing injury to the stable
keeper, and is kind of prize that nobody
wants to accept at any price-not even to
handle. 1t would seem as if the authori-
ties ought to erect pest-house Tor stable)
| IN which horses suspected of being dis
eased could be kept pending the final dis
position of them.
Cor HIMSELF INTO TRoUBLE-At an
early hour on Saturday morning R. c.
lrvine's horse and cart were stolen from
the alley in the rear of Van VOORHEES, &
| Co.'S store, and he has not since found

horse and buggy disappeared from in front
| OF his office at Seventh and J streets, and a
| little later Ike Simmons found them at
Third and | streets i'll the possession of an
! old - bum named Dan. Fay, whom he
arrested. Fay has since admitted that he
took HeEbron's horse and buggy few days
| ago (Which were found at night in an
alley, and also that ii was he who drove
Irvlne's horse away. He says he left the
latter at Third and Y streets, but Irvine has
not been able to find his property. 1t is
said, furthermore, that Fay drove out to
st. Joseph's Cemetery on Saturday, while
he was in possession of Irvine's horse and
vehicle and stole the sections coat, leaving
his own in its place. He seems to be a VIC
tim OF klepto- equine-mania and Chinese
gin.
