They Both kicked.-H. n. Williams
was called upon yesterday to decide a
horse case in which the owner as well
as the horse had a kick coming. Lee
Brown some time ago purchased a
horse from Jess Tyler of Rapids City.
The horse was supposed to be valua-
bic work animal, but in this it seemed
to be below par. 1t perhaps would
work when it wasn't kicking, but the
fault that Brown discovered was that
it kicked nearly all of the time OF
course the animal might not have liked
to work, consequently it kicked, but at
the best it failed to suit Brown. He
brought suit for the recovery of his
money and brought the horse as evil
dence. 1t succeeded in kicking his rig
nearly to pieces, and a disinterested
bystander on the witness stand swore
that it took three hours to travel one
block. Judgment for the amount paid
for the animal was given.
