the "Jew Pedler'') who spends his
Sundays in this place, is the posses

"bloods" who are worry fond of
"horse flesh" are particular friends
Of the Jew, and the horse also. So

toned Messrs. Hubert b. Casseday,
John Pugh and Clark g. Carrco
entered the stable between the hour

Office, which is situated on the sub
urbs OF tho town in a very lonely
place. After brief lecture he
gave them their choice to remain in
his Office or to furnish bond for
their appearance at the Mayors
Office on the following Monday.
