An interesting lawsuit came off be

Stowe and in consideration of rs
cents, the price asked, he let the
: horse. Now Kenfield went to Stowe,
:, but did not 90 alone nor directly
! there. He drove to johnson and
taking in a friend went TO the Good
; Templars meeting and then came
back home via Johnson. Quite nat
J urally Foster when he learned of the
circuitous trip was indignant and de-
manded additional pay, which Ken
> field refused sayinghe hired the horse
for the day, and had the right to go
where he pleased. Hence the suit.

and Waldo Brigham for defendant.
Twenty dollars was the amount ask
! ed for. Several witnesses were exam
ined and while none of them expressly
J stated that the horse was damaged,
: all admitted that it was n pretty big
: drive for the beast. The plaintiff was
I put on the stand and would not adj
NIT that the horse was in the least
e injured by his big drive; thought he
n was as good as v and would be
/ willing to pay as much for him now
:, as when he bought him. All he asked
was that defendant pay for violating
t his agreement. In consideration OF
the evidence elected the court award
ed plaintiff the munificent sum OIL
! $500 and costs. An appeal was tax.
