AT LEAST so BILL LARSEN
THOUGHT.
A Replevln Suit for Possession OF an
Animal Ordered Shot for Chambers
But Cured Instead.

Bill Larsen had a startling experien-
ce with a horse he ordered killed a few
weeks ago and now he is going to have
some court experience on account of
the same animal. After Bill turned
the horse over to be slain, thinking that
it had CHAMBERS, the man who was to
have done the killing discovered that
there was no CHAMBERS in the animals
system at all. The horse was cured
and sold, but Bill got hold of it again
and now H. j. Beckman threatens
replevin suit.
According to the plaintiffs story it
is not Bill Larsen's fault that the horse
ii not dead. When Larsen was told by
vet that his horse had CHAMBERS, he
took the animal to F. F. Porter of the
furniture company where an employee
named Wagner was to do the killing
The furniture company is able to use
old carcasses for axle grease or some
other useful mixture, and Bill Larsen
is alleged to have turned over the ami
NAL supposed to have CHAMBERS to be
used as Porter saw fit.
Larsen is said to have started to
shoot his own horse. He got the pistol
all ready, it is said, and even present.
ed it at the animals head. Then his
kind heart got the better of his inten-
tions and he remarked that he hadn't
the heart to shoot an animal that had
long served him. He left it to Wagner
to do the shooting, and the next thing
he heard of the horse was when it sud-
denly appeared at his stable one morn
inf.- some weeks later, in good health.
The startling appearance of the horse
that was supposed to have been shot
naturally surprised Larsen. He found
that the animal had been sold to hack
man Beckman for 800.
The horse had got loose from the
stable where it's new owner kept it and
had made for it's own home. Beckman
came after it and took it back, but af-
ter thinking the matter over for a few
days Bill Larsen came to the conclu-
sion that he ought to have the horse
himself. He accordingly got it away
from Beckman's stables and he has it
yet.
Beckmans replevin suit was brought
in Judge Dlckey's court, to regain pos
session of the animal. He claims that
it was abandoned to Porter and that it
became the property of Porter as a gift
when Larsen left it with Porter to be
shot. Beckman has a bill of sale from
Porter, who had the animal cured of
the disease which Larsen took for
CHAMBERS The horse is a good animal
said to be worth 5000.
