ton has been racing in the name of j.

rick, who claims that she has a bill of
sale for the horse. Mrs. Patrick fur
ther claims that she let the parties that
have been racing the mud lark have
him TO handle for her, and asserts that
they have failed to account with her for
any part of his earnings. She has put
the matter into the hands of a New
Orleans attorney. and consultation
has been had between said attorney
and j, w. O'Nell. who is handling the
horse for Brannon. Unless an AMIGA
BILE adjustment of the matter is made
privately, the merits of Mrs. Patrick's
claim will be decided in the courts.

racing season Of 1897. As an immediate
