get him to give himself up. He refused
and with friends and relatives. numbering
about twenty, said he would fight rather
than be arrested. The agent told him he
would make no fight but if he would not
give himself up peaceably, he would allow
the sheriff to take him. After weeks
consideration and through the intervention
of Indians, all of whom wanted him to sur
render, but would fight rather than see him
hurt, he sent word to the agent that he

says if he has done anything wrong he has
been out of his head; something without
himself made him resist arrest. When he
surrendered he did it OH condition that the
agent and one of Joe Scott's men, Il friend
of his, should come in with him. They
both started with him. This ends the pos

HORSE OWNERS IN COURT.
Cases of Clark VS.. souIe and soule vs..
Clark Ended-Another Begun.

In the Superior Court yesterday, in the
case of Frederick A. Clark against Hen
ry Sorle, to recover $4S.25 for services in
doctoring and nursing sick horse, the
jury gave Clark verdict for $16.17. The
jury found that his services were of the
value of $27.92, but deducting So that
had been paid and a blacksmith bill he
owed Soule, it left the above amount.
In the case where Soule sued Clark for
malpractice in causing the death of the
horse by unskillful and ignorant treat
ment, the jury found that it was some
thing else that carried the horse off and
not Clark's treatment, and gave YER
dict for the defendant Clark. John G..
Cobb appeared for Clark, and Charles S.
Cock for Soule.
The next case taken up was Edgar L.
Jordan of Cape Elizabeth, who sues
Cummings & Winchester of Commercial
street, for damages to his horse .Lady
Westland,'' caused by a dog kept by
them. Jordan claims that as he was
driving by the defendants store one
morning last September, this dog, which,
although not owned by the defendants,
las been kept by them in their store for
% past four years, ran out and jumped
oe horse, barking furiously and, as
an thinks, bit the horses hind leg
any rate, the mare, four-year-old
jumped and ran in spite of the eff
is of Jordan to hold her, the dog con-
iually barking and jumping at her
cad, until she reached Pearl street,
where she slipped, falling upon her
knees, and throwing Jordan out. The
horse was caught before regaining her
feet He claims the mare was badly cut
on the knees and about the hind legs,
and that she was then and there practi-
cally spoiled; that her legs now are COW
cred with scars, her hooks enlarged, her
knees sprung, and that she is fit only
for breeding mare; that before the ac-
cident she was worth $1,000, and now
only $3.50 or 5000. She was sired by
WestIand and her dam was by Baby
Deane.
The defence has not yet been opened,
out it is understood that they deny that
this dog kept by them had anything to
do with frightening the horse; that he
was not in the vicinity at the time. Ben
jamin Thompson appears for the plain
tiff, and George Libby for the defend
ants.
