Minister and Deacon Suing Each Other

 East Meadow Brook. L. l.. Sept . Four years ago the Rev. Ross Taylor, who is well known in Methodist circI s a the son f Bishop Taylor of Califor- nit, received ar. assignment to the pull pit of the East Meaodw Brook church. which he filled for some time. Richard Lowdsn. a farmer of that section, is a deacon Of this church and is an old friend of Bishop Taylor. He was p-aased that the bishops son was to supply the pulpit and entertained the son f his old friend.
 The parish of East Meadow is quite extensive. and the farm houses far apart. so that it was necessary for the pastor to have a horse and carriage. The Rev. MT. Taylor sent to New York for a California thoroughbrei which his mother had given him. When Mr. TaylOr's pastara:e ended his horse was in such DO r condi.io!f jnat he left him with Mr. Lowden tn be turned ont to pasture. Lowden says that an ar rangement for compensation was made and that he agr ed to take ,he horse to board at a low figure.
 Last May Mr. Lowden received a note from cEe Rev. Mir. Taylor asking him to ship his horse to him in New York MT. Lowden replied that he would do so upon receipt of a check for the horses board. which has n-ver been paid and amounted to S192.
 The Rev. MT. Taylor placed the matter in the hands OT his lawyer. who began suit in behalf of his client to re- gain possession of his horse. When the pap-rs were served upon Lowden he turned the documents over to his attorney with instructions to begin coan,er suit for the amount of ;he board bill.
 The suits will come to trial at the fall term in Mineola. and the church mem bers are looking forward to the event with keen interest.
