The San Francisco call., 1895-12-22

gard to the prices charged for clubs nip
pers, ras traps, etc., the prices are correct
Tor the goods furnished. You cannot
make silk purse out of a sow's ears
neither can you make hardware man out
OF an ignoramus.
Ihe.Poundmaster has the authority of u.s.
ing his own discretion in releasing ami
mails.
Mr.. Fleming charge certain deputies
with immortality. / would say that "peo-
PIE VINO live in glass houses should not
throw stones.' If such was the case with
the deputies whom he mentioned, what
could be expected when the superintend-
ent himself acted in like manner? An
officer of the law had him under swell
ance Tor weeks, endeavoring to satisfy his
suspicious in regard to supposed cases OF
a similar nature to those which are agita-
ting the public at present.
with regard to the accusation of the
Stacey horse being kept for use at the AMI
mails Home, will say the same is another
direct falsehood. The horse was never
used by anv employe of the Animals
home, and | challenge any one to prove
1t. After the investigation of the Stacey
matter [ had an interview with Mr.. Stacey,
and he told me the exact circumstances of
the case and acknowledged to me that he
exonerated me from all blame in the
matter.
So far as hiring deputies on commission,
have the legal right to do so. AS far as
the blind horse is concerned, it was bought
at a cost of 500, and l am ready to leave
1t to any horseman in San Franciscosthat,
although he may be blind, he is worth $100
TO any one. notwithstanding the assertion
to the contrary of John Partridge.
do not profess to know much about
horse, but / have forgotten more than
John Partridge will ever know about one.
rAc nj ho
that it is another consummate lie. The
horse has fallen down but once since he
became the property OF the Animals
Home, and that time he was driven by
Mr. Fleming, most inexperienced horse
man, unless it be with a wooden horse.
John Partridge thinks it Is cruelty to drive
a horse because 1t is blind. Such remark
would only come from an ignorant person.
John Partridge and ]. B. Fleming need
have no fear that "clouds" will hang over
the Animals Home from now on. for the
blackest "cloud" has passed over it in the
shape of none other than J. b. Fleming.
John Partridge claims he and j. B.
Fleming have only the best interests of
the society at heart. What perforated
tissue-paper remark to make.
The broad-gauged public are the best
Judges of that after reading the insults
heaped upon the respectable gentlemen
