it was necessary for him to have his

necessitated a walk of over mile. DR.
Campbell is very hopeful that he will
be able to effect a complete recovery,

HORSE TRADE is CALLED OFF.
Novel Case is Called to Attention
of Lawyers.


ton Of the lawyers in Mt. Ayr, and it
effects the validity of a contract.
The case promised to rival in impor-
tance the once famous Jones county
calf case, but the parties interested in
the threatened suit got together and
settled the case out of court and in q
peaceable manner.
This is just the way it happened
Foster Dcfenbaugh, who lives in Mid
die Fork township, saw VIM. Long, who
lives not far from the Defenbaugh home,
and asked him the price of a horse he
owned. Long priced the horse at S125,
and Defenbaugh thought he valued the
animal too highly and they could not
agree on the price. Finally Defen
baugh proposed to give him as many
five dollar bills for the horse as it would
take to girth the animal Long thought
this was pretty good proposition and
accepted the oifor, whereupon Defen
baugh gave him one dollar to bind the
contract. Some further discussion was
had on the subject of the trade, and
Long asked to have the horse until
evening, when he promised to turn it
over to it's new owner. This part of the
contract was also agreed to, and then it
was proposed to ascertain just how many
I five spots would be required to reach
around the horse. TO the great sur
prise Of Mr.. Long it was found that just
eleven bills were required, and so he
was selling his horse for fifty-fvc dol
lars, whereas he had asked Defenbaugh
before.
When Long discovered that he was
getting so badly soaked in the deal he
refused to turn the horse over to De-
| fenbaugh and called the trade off. De-
fenbaugh WHO considered that he had q
good bargain, insisted that the horse
was his and demanded his rights. He
came to Mt. Ayr and consulted the
law firm of Spence & Smith as to the
validity of the contract, and the law
yers agreed that the contract Twas a
valid one and would stand in the courts
On Monday Mr.. Long met Mr.. Defen-
caugh in Mt. Ayr and they settled the
matter without litigation.
The case is exceedingly novel in many
respects, and had the gentlemen con-
tested for their rights in the courts the
suit might have equaled in notority the
famous calf case already referred to-
BY the time two or three juries had dis
agreed on verdict and possibly by the
time the supreme court had gone into
all the technicalities of the case, the
procedure would have become noted fal
and wide in the history of jurispru
dence.
If horses could be bought as cheaply
as Mr.. Defenbaugh proposed to buy MIR
Longs horse there would be rapid de
cline in the horse market. Even Mr.
Dcfenbaugh, who made the proposition
in the way suggested, was surprised
that it took so few bills to reac]
around the animal. 1t is not likel,
after this experience in horse buyin:
becomes known, that people will car
about selling Their horses on Mr.. Defer
baugh's plan--not at least until the,
have taken the measurement with five
S dollar bills.-Mt. Ayr Record.

will result. He rested easy all day yes
