The San Francisco call., 1896-12-13
Buying a Horse for 70 Cents.

A horse for 20 cents!
A real live animal, capable of drawing
peddler's cart and its owner for price
less than six bits.
McCurrie, special officer for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals in the City and
County of San Francisco, has found
the oldest horse trade that has come to
notice in long time.
Il forget who the peddler was," McCur-
rie said yesterday, "but 1 know about the
lowest priced horse that ever has assisted
any man in San Francisco to carry on
business"
McCurrie has every day contact with
horses all over the City and, as might be
supposed, it is a fact that the poorer
horses are those which are the most SUBJ
ject to abuse and so attract his attention
more closely, the complaints being princi-
pally against the owners of such.
''Of course this was cash trade" said
McCurrie, with some amusement. 1.-THE
money paid over was two quarters, one
dime and two nickels. When the owner
of the nag received this money the ped
dler got the horse sure enough and was
ready for business"
"The fact is that peddlers can get all the
horses they want now for 81 each. l
knew of another case where horse was
bought by a peddier for an old stove
which was much the worse for wear; the
stove, l mean, and for 81 in cash."
Some inquiry was made on the basis of
McCurrie's statements. The fact appears to
be that many horses have been bought for
less than So. Sorry-looking nags, of course,
these are, but they do to move a load of
bananas or other truck for sale over short
distances on the level streets of the City,
and they are able to stand at street cor
/ ners indefinitely on anywhere from three
to four legs. But sharp lookout is kept
upon such animals and upon their owners
by the Society for the Prevention of
| Cruelty to Animals.
There was an example of this watchful-
ness one day during the past week. A
! human brute was driving four horses with
| a heavy load attached to them and it was
noticed that one of the leaders could not
step on one fore foot without pain. The
horses were stopped and 1t was discovered
that the ailing horse had just been shod
and that a nail had been driven into it's
foot, upon which it had been forced by
| blows to w ak over the cobbles.
The suggestion has often been made
that California is the place for the poor
man. There probably is no other place
where peddlers can get the motive power
for their wares at the rate of a horse Tor
! 20 cents.
