of foxhound, says the Kansas CITY Star
The case was in Johnson county. Mo.
and it's legal title was Charles Burden vs..
LeoEidas Hornsby but it was known as
the Drum case, because that was the
dogs name. In a reminiscent mood Gov
ernor Crittenden related his recollection
of it.
1t was first commenced before a JUS
tee of the peace and was then appealed
to the common pleas court On the abo-
lition of that court it was passed to the
circuit court. and fom the circuit court

much bitterness between neishbor ana

war. Burden and Hornsby had been on
different sides of the war and had differ

ton. They seemed TO be naturally an
tasonistic to each other. almost being
hatred on both sides at sight. Hornsby
was charged with having shot and killed
Drum. There was much evidence tend

bufden sued Hornsby before justice of
the peace. Nov.9. 1869, there being a hung
jury; 1t was tried soon thereafter with
ike hung jury, and it was re- tried Jan
l. 1870, and verdict was had for $50. The
case was then appealed to the common

was there given for the defendant 4
smotlon for new trial was filed MAY ..
Io'o' and for some cause it was granted.
and on the 23d day of September 1870.
"a trial was had before a jury in the cir
cult court, the common pleas court hay
ing been abolished. and a verdict was
rendered in behalf of the plaintiff for so
the amount asked for in the suit
The case had been before the people so
dong it had become cause celebre and OF
dntense interest. Crittenden & Cockrell
appeared for the defendant when the case,
inst appeared in the common pleas
court. Elliott & Blodgett made their first
appearance in the case at the same time.
Both firms followed the case to its close.
tolonel B!odgett was then residing a

become one of the most distinguished

At this stage of the case Philips &
Vest We're employed by the plaintiff on
Drums side. 1t may be we'll to here
state that by this time both the plaintiff
ana the defendant had almost passed out

figure of the whole trial. Philips & Vest
and FL lott & Blodgett appeared for the
plaintiff on the last trial of the casts,

for the defendant. l DO not remember all
