The Laugh was On the Men in the Cab.
From the Dry Goods Chronicle

Ane Laugh was On the men In the Cab.
From the Dry Goods Chronicle.
Some years ago four merchant creditors from
an eastern city started in the same train of cars
for the purpose OF attaching the property of a
certain debtor in an interior town. He owed
each one separately, and they each were suspi-
cious OF the object of the other but did not dare
say word about 1t, although they We're all ac-
quainted. When they arriv ed at the station,
which was two or three miles from where the
debtor did business, they found but q solitary
cab, 60 which all rushed. Three got in and re-
fused admittance to the fourth, and the cab
started. The fourth ran after and got upon the
outside with the driver. He asked the driver If
he wanted to sell his horse. He replied that
he did not want to; that ne was not worth more
than 500 but he would not sell him for that. He
asked him if he would take 500 tor him.
"Ies,' said Jehu. The fourth man quickly
paid over the money, took the reins and backed
the cab up against the bank, slipped it from the
harness and tipped it up SO that the door could
not be readily opened, jumped upon the horses
back and rode OF at a quick lope, while the in
slders were gazing out OF the window. He rode
to lawyer and got q writ made out and served
and his debt secured, and got back to the hotel
just as the ''insiders' came up putting and
blowing. The cablnan soon bought back his
horse for $50. The ''sold men" offered to pay
that sum 1t the fortunate one. who found the
property sufficient TO pay his debt, would not
"let on" about the affair at home.
