LEARNED 4 LESSON.
A Guileless swetle Who snapped Horse,
in the Dark.

Jacob Ericsson registered a solemn
vow yesterday afternoon in the county
attorneys office that he would never
make a horse trade in the dark with
strangers again. He said he was la
borer and that he came from Hamilton
few days ago, travelling with team
and wagon of his own. On Wednesday
evening he started out again on hunt
for work and a mile or two beyond
Crystal Springs, just after dark, he met
three strangers camped by the road.
They engaged him in conversation and
soon began to talk of swapping horses
with the guileless Swede. They had,
so they said 1850 pound horse that
could trot a mile in 2:10. The ttrotter
was just over a hill. Ericsson thought
that he had found bargain and before
he saw the trotter he agreed to make
the trade. After the shades of night
had fallen the three strangers brought
the trOtter over and turned him over to
Ericsson and took possession of the lat
ter's animal.
Ericsson peered through the gloom at
the supposed treasure he had acquired
and then tainted. The trotter weighed
about $50 pounds, was NANCY and
scrawny and planted his feet far apart
to maintain his equilibrium. But the
three strangers insisted that the trade
was irrevocable and only laughed hard,
cruel laughs at the opportunities of Err
ricson for his horse. Ericsson started
for town to see if there was any law to
make the strangers give him back his
horse. He was told that he must resort
to the civil law for whatever redress he
might have.

fully and concluded that about the best
thing to do is to pass it all up to the
visitor who comes to his office to whit
tie, kill time and try to get something
