Garnet Ferguson, among other lucky
things, has his fathers selling capaci-
ty. Jim Ferguson is breeder as well
as starter, and he has contrived in
good years and bad to get his moneys
worth out of the sons and daughters of
Prince Royal and ST. George. Kentuck-
ians call him the shrewdest breeder in
the Lexington bunch.

WOMAN EARNS HER WAGES.
Law Court Decides in Favor of an Over
worked Wife.

Law Court Decides in Favor of an Over
worked Wife.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
An interesting law case has just been
settled in the appellate court of Indi-
ana which involves the wages receiv-
ed by woman from her husband for
clerking in his shoe store. The court
decided against the trust company.
The wife worked for $3.50 a week
and saved her money, which was in
vested in building association stock.
When the amount had reached $1,000,
business fell off and the husband was
forced to borrow from his wife until
all her savings We're gone, when he
made an assignment He also owed her
a years wages, and her claim against
the assignee for $2,37S was resisted on
the ground that a husband could not
make valid contract to pay his wife
for her services. The lower court took
this view of the case, but when 1t
reached the appellate court the find
ing of the cirucit court was reversed
the judge filing this reason for his
action:
1T must be conceded that if the con-
tract between appellant and her hus-
band related to services performed by
her in the discharge of her household
duties, and the duties incumbent upon
her to perform by reason of her mar
consideration to support the contract.
THE law imposes upon her the dis
charge of such duties. and a contract
between them, whereby he was to pay
her for such services, could not be up
held, as it would be aginst public pol
icy. *Where a married woman
performs labor for her husband or fam
lily in the discharge of her household
or marital duties such labor must be
performed without financial compensa-
ton from the husband, for the recpro-
cal relations that exist between them.
But the labor performed by appellant
was not of that character.
She was under no obligation to
leave her home and its surroundings
and spend years Of her life clerking in
store for her husband, yet she did
this, under a contract that she was to
be paid for it. The consideration was
sufficient to support the contract. =
The money which was paid to appel
ant under contract with her hus-
band, and which was reduced to pos
sion, and which she loaned to him, is
such an obligation. based upon sound,
equitable reasons, that it will be in.
forced. The judgment is reversed"

4 tive he heard Murphy call Feurtado a
| liar.
odicer Murphy took the stand and said
he heard big. explosion Friday evening.
He and Oficer Balduc went to look for
the cause and We're told 1t was at the
gas works. On reaching the works they
| saw lines of hose in operation, and not

posed 1t was to put out a fire on account
| of the explosion. The superintendent of
the works got very saucy to him and he
got mad, but he did not call anyone a
| liar,
Special Officer Ralduc told practically
the same story. naturally giving no dam
aging testimony against his fellow-ofti-
Ger.
John L. Burns yardmas.er of the B.,
A. & P, was with the officers when they
heard the explosion and went with them
to the gas works. Murphy asked If there
was an explosion and an employee said
no. There We're two lines of hose being
used and the employees running about led
witness to believe there had been an ex-
plosion and they were trying to keep 1t
quiet. He urged the officers to investi-
gate and they went to see Feurtado, who
insisted there had been no explosion, and
Officer Murphy said: II can prove by 80
witnesses there has BEEN Feurtado
said: you're a liar, there has been
none"
Murphy replied: You're a d. liar; I
know there has BEEN
officer Murphy lost his head and talked
pretty rough. but witness thought that
was accounted for by Feurtado's manner
and sarcastic speech.
Chief Mulholland was called and asked
If he called on Superintendent Feurtado
to see If there were any Indications of an
explosion having occurred. He said he
went to the works and found no evidences
of an explosion. He also heard the ex-
plosion. and from the force of it knew if
it had occurred at the works they would
have been blown to pieces.
This completed the taking of testimony
and the committee formulated it's report.

Stable Gossip


During the race meeting in Butte
last fall Sam McKeever, a colt from the
Bitter Root stable. was sold at auction
to Garnet Ferguson for less than 500.
Just before the races at Oakland last
Saturday the Foster Brothers bought
the colt from young Ferguson for
$4,000. Mckeever is Sam Lucas colt
out OF Eta McKeever. A turf writer
in the New York Telegraph has the
following about the colt and his new
owners:
Starter Ferguson practically left
sam at the post, and the Fosters prob
ably lost bit on him. They are good

Fred is one of the few turf gener-
ais. His cleyerness was early recog-
nized out West, blu. he did not give
the East a chance to see what he could
do until he got DR.. Rice. He picked
up that good colt for almost nothing.
because it was thought Rice's feet
would never permit him to race again.
Foster took the horse to st. Louis and
went at him. 1t was a general sur
prise to see his name among the en-
tries for the coming Brooklyn Handi-
against Rice in the Winter books, and
Foster shot his money in at every
available point.
