Some time ago Pat Kinney, OF
Houghton Lake, so we are informed,
loaned one Jack Johnston mustang
pony, johnson drove to this village
and met Andrew Cady, and horse
trade was the result. Johnston getting
$40 to boot, On his return to Hough-
ton Lake he informed Mr.. Kinney that
he had traded his horse off, but said
nothing OF the money. Pat refused to
ratify the trade and demanded his own
horse back, and while in the village
during the week secured advice on the
matter. Cady, in the meantime, trad
ed the mare to Grayling parties. Mr..
Kinney left on the noon train to-
day for that place in search of his
property. He evidently means bust
ness. and says he will have the mare
back and punish the perpetrators. We
don't know anything about the mat
ter, but judging from Mr.. Kinney's
story, it looks as though someone was
in a bad fix.-Ros, NetoS.
