nocence.

Estherville, Feb. 12-There is a great
mix-up in the city just at present
over horse that was sold to horse
buyer who happened around this way
a few weeks ago and bought up fifteen
or twenty fine horses and shipped
then! to Dekalb, ILL.,, to be disposed Of
at profit.
One of the animals was a sorrel
mare purchased from Albert Parriott.
When the car was being unloaded at
DeKalb one of the citizens of that
town laid claim to the animal and said
she had been stolen from his barn in
that city on the night of July 20, 1905.
She answered the description exactly
of the animal stolen on that night, and
had the barb wire cut on her breast
that the stolen animal had. Replevin
proceedings were commenced and the
mare was taken from the stock yards.
Novel Test Made.
She was turned loose six blocks from
home and went directly to the barn
and even into her former STALL The
horse buyer, Mr.. Kennedy. knew that
he had purchased the animal from Mr..
Parriott Of this place and so notified
the parties. The sheriff of DeKalb
county same here expecting to arrest
Mr.. Parriott and take him to Illinois
to answer to the charge of horsesteal-
ing, but he ran up against snag.
Mr.. Parriott had purchased the ami
NAL from man named Beatty west of
Esthe rville on March 20, 1905, four
months prior to the time the Illinois
party claimed the animal had been
stolen from his barn. and produced u
check on the First National bank given
to Mr.. Beatty in payment for the
beast. Mr.. Beatty claims he raised her
on his farm, and she had never been
disposed of to anyone until he sold her
to M. Parriott. With this evidence
before him the Illinois party still
claimed the animal, and dispositions
are being taken before a, justice Of the
peace here for the man to take back to
his Illinois home in an effort to keep
the animal in his possession. He has
Furnished the required bond and will
push his case in the Illinois courts.
The animal sold for $133, and costs
already amount to over $50, and the
case has hardly commenced.

RADIO for Union Reasons.

RADIO Tor Union heaSOrs.
Colorado Springs. Colo. SEPT IS. =
The state Federation Of LABOR has
adopted a resolution denouncing Hen
~ A. Buchtel, chancellor Of Denver
university and Republican ca ldidate
for governor of Colorado. The resolu-
ton, which was inspired by the local
branch of the International Typo
graphical union, says in part: There
is one organization, a religious sect,
that has tenaciously and deliberately
refused to recognize the denal DIS Of
the printers, thus locking our men out
and resisting to the fullest extent Of
its power the shorter work day. This
denomination is the Methodist Epis-
copal church, which today in all its
many publishing houses refuses , en-
ploy union men or recognize the eight
hour day" For this reason it is deter
mined to oppose Buchtel, he being a
Methodist.
