HAD COMMON SENSE
Nice Way Out of an Embar-
assing Situation
AND OF SAVING EXPENSES
Liquor Prosecution viii Be
Dropped Today.

A little common sense and take some
times helps the taxpayer. It is Tot
often that a saloon keeper and those
who he supposes to be his prosecutor ex-
ercise common sense in the face of a
prosecution, but they did it yesterday
and did it well.
The case OF the state versus Caskey G..
Leedon came to a sudden standstill last
night after one jury panel having been
exhausted and another had been ordered.
The sheriff was getting ready force Of
deputies to travel all night for a jury
when somebody said that If Leidon, who
is charged with violating the prohibitory
law at Clearwater were not prosecuted
this time he would agree to never again
sell a drop Of liquor at Clearwater. The
report reached the ears of the citizens of
Clearwater who were here to prosecute
him and they at once said that if Leidon
would make the promise attributed TO
him they would consent to the dismissal
Of the case against him. Hearing Of
this happy turn of events the sheriff
called off his deputies and will await
further developments in the proceed
ings. It is believed that the case win be
dismissed by County Attorney Comfy this
morning The people Of Clearwater, It
appears, are largely in favor of dry
town and especially anxious to put a
man in jail. If they can have the dry
town without resorting to prosecutions
they are perfectly satisfied.
The outcome of the case will save two
or three. thousand dollars to the tax

HORSES ARE SCARCE
Demand Exceeds supply and Prices
Are 47D

It is fact that the market price for
good horses has advanced fifty per cent
in the last three months. Old hides and
plugs that were a drug on the market at
any price are not in demand but good
single and double driver, coachers and
high actors and extra good work horses.
able and willing TO do any and all work
as the corner auctioneer puts it, are in
big demand and the supply is limited.
There has been a shortage in the breed
ers' ranks for couple of years past and
there has not been one-half of the horses
raised as were grown several years ago.
The bottom had fallen out of the market
and in the dull times of two years ago it
was almost impossible to give a good one
away. There was even a report circulate
ed that man in Butler county in the
dull time had seven head that he wanted
to get rid of and he took them TO a cross
road corner to tied them to the fence TO
leave them over night, expecting that
some one would come along and steal
them. In the morning he went to see if
they were gone and found six more tied
with them to the same fence and he had
to take the thirteen head home and feed
them that winter and he went into bank
duptcy in the sprint. It was. however,
ascertained that this was a pipe dream
sent out by an eastern correspondent who
was distant relative of Annanias.
But Notwithstanding there was only
limited amount of mares bred in 1898 and
1899 as compared with other years and
it is a practical certainty that there will
be an increased scarcity of good horses
and necessary increasing rise in values
in time to come.
At one time men bought horses on the
boom plan and this had special applica-
ton to the light harness horse it used to
be that sixty per cent of pedigree and
forty per cent Of horse brought the
money and many were sold for fabulous
prices. It is different now, they buy them
now on the business plan of what can
they earn or return on the investment
and the individual in the first considera-
ton and pedigree if any follows. The
renewed spirit Of life taken on by other
lines of business and the demand for stuff
for export together with the shortage of
horses grown is partly responsible for
the fair price that the noble steed is
now bringing
