when w. A. st. John brought suit
against r. L. Westlake for tho recov-
very of trotting horse OF which st.
John claims to be the rightful owner.
A series OF disputes has arisen be-
tween the contending parties over some
trivial money matters. Westlake con-
tends that st. John is in his debt for
the caring and keeping of the equine.

does not quite agree with Westlakc as
to the amount that he should receive.

neys at the hearing and matters were
so complicated that the alderman re-
served his decision.
