Special Correspondence Of Gazette and journal
NEWARK, Feb. 2l.--lt is not often that q
"gyp" gets in his work among the citizens
of this quiet town. The many advertise
ments in the city dailies asking for pur-
chasers for thoroughbred Kentucky horses
at ridiculously low price, seldom find an
interested reader in this neighborhoud.
Yet one day last week David j. Murphey, a
well-known and much respected citizen of
Newark, saw an advertisement in the
Philadelphia Record offering Il Kentucky
bay mare with record OF 80, sound and
gentle, for S100, with privilege to pur-
chaser of taking another horse to board
at SOL per month until May" Mr.. Murphey
was in need of a good roadster and i'm.
cheap animal. Everything was salts
at the named price and to show
that he meant business, handed over $50
to ihe "gyp." lie did not suspect any
thing ana left with the understanding that
the mare should be shipped to him here
and if, after 30 days trial, she proved all
right lie would pay the $50 balance.
Later in the day, on meeting his son. who
is in business in Philadelphia, he told him
of his bargain and was surprised to learn
that it WAS probably fake. He and his
son set out to see what could be done and
on finding the man demanded the money
back but the typ" refused. A heated dis
cussion ensued, and on the appearance of
policeman, the "gyp" refunded the $40
and ordered Mr.. Murphey toaget out and
stay away. which injunction 1t is needless
TO say, he intends to follow,
