COMPROMISED
HORSE DEAL.
Peter Meyers Arrested Saturda!
Is Discharged.
CADIZ OFFICERS CAME HERE
Meyers Alleges That He Did Not Act Dis
honestly But Fairly-Turned Over
All His Funds and a Watch
and Settled the Case.

Peter Meyers, who was arrested in
| this city Friday at the instance of Cadi2
authorities, was discharged from
| custody Sunday, having succeeded in
compromising with the constable and
owner of the horse who arrived in this
| city Sunday to take him with them
| When Meyers was locked in a cell at
the police station, he told the officers
that he was not guilty of horse steal
ing. He said that he had effected a
trade with farmer, Savannah C. Dizer,
near Cadiz, and that the fellow still
owed him 81. 1t appears that after
ward it turned out that a guardian had
been appointed over Dizer, in the per-
son of w. l.. Patton, who alleges that
the animal belonged to him and was
wrongfully traded by Dizer. Meyers
stated that he was willing to return
with the officers when they arrived and
prove his assertions.
Sunday morning Constable C. W. Hood
and w. l.. Patton arrived in this city
from Cadiz and called at the police
station and had a conference with
Meyers. Meyers recognized one Of the
men Immediately and they questioned
him as to the trade. From their story
1t appears that after the trade had
been made by Meyers, writ of
replevin was gotten out by Guardian
Patton, and when the constable. who
was to serve the writ, happened to
meet Meyers, he read the paper and
took hold Of the horse. Meyers said
that he did not understand the pro-
ceedings and believed that they should
not arrest him as he believed he
secured possession of the animal in the
course of his trade. However, con-
tention arose between the constable
and Meyers, and the former started for
a village to secure the assistance Of
officer to forcibly take possession of
the animal and arrest Meyers. At this
juncture Meyers drove away and then
after meeting his family he started for
this city. Meyerss son was arrested
and fined by the village authorities for
interfering with the officers. The off,
GERS learned that Meyers was coming to
this city and they Immediately sent
word here, which resulted in his ap-
prehension, after he had traded the
horse to John Carnes. south of town.

A long talk ensued between Meyers
and the two men, Sunday, and they re-

In EVERY STATE
Mr.. Bryan Thinks the Fight
Ought to be Made And He
Expects Victory.

Chicago, June 15.-I would be doing
an injustice TO the people of America
to admit that the REPUBLICANS will carry
a single state" said William Jennings
Bryan while here, when asked where
the Democratic sentiment would be
strongest this year. "The Democratic
party is in much better shape than 1t
was on the eve of the last presidential
campaign. Its members are enthusiasts
tic and hopeful. All over the country
there is a feeling Of coming victory.
THE Democratic party is united; the
Republican party Is divided upon the
issues that have come to the front dur
ing the last two years. 1t Is on the de-
fensive. The Democratic party is on
the aggressive. The fight will be made
in every state. We will win In New
York state. Our friends there are con-
fident and the prospects were never
brighter for any part of that state.
Democrats are united and report great
accessions from Republicans"
