\ KN0TTY QUESTION PERPLExEs
 JUDGE SAYRE.
Reputable Witnesses Cross Each other ]. as to the Ownership of
 Horse--Negro~ sues
 White Mnn,

Anthony Dickerson Sayre, Judge Of the City Court of Montgomery, aided and abetted by William Cal Ioway negro, and Joseph Oppenhetm- CT, yesterday discovered that bay mare did give birth to two colts which differed from each other not in the slightest degree and scientists will henceforth have to probe into the. ques- tion "can a mare bear twin horsesY The decision of Judge Sayre may not be that, twin colts were borns but so puzzled Is the just and righteous judge with contradictory evidence placed be- fore him yesterday in reference to this physical enigma that he decided to sleep night or two before giving ofil- cia1 utterance to his judgment. Here is the case: William Galloway. I & negro farmer of Montgomery County, raised and cherished a likely colt until the likely colt developed into a useful horse. This horse he worked to a pioughshare and much money accrued to William Galloway through the strength and energy of said equine. But woe unto William Galloway, The erring equine wandered from the fair farm of the husbandrnan.
 Galloway cried. Tn vain he searched through hill and vale for his pride. Had Lou Dillon escaped from the friendly barn of MT. c. K. G. Billings no greater COilSlGIIdlAOH IOQAds tA0f0 been caused than was caused by the hockey playing procliyities of Gallo ways steed.
 Months passed and Galloway remain cd disconsolate. For years he was mis- erable. At last he saw his faithless steed. The animal was driven to smart suiky by well known Macon County citizen, Joseph oppenheimer. Galloway stopped MT. Oppenheimer. Give me that horse" quoth he. 'Tis mine By me raised. By me nurtured. My Kingdom for that horse."
 But Mir. Oppenheimer declined the offer to separate him from the horse. Why nigger, spake he. This goodiy horse have I driven decade. I pur- chased him from Joe Thompson, who is known to Theodore Roosevelt. Skiddoo with you"
 - negro paused. The name of eafa3 .. had been duly effective. But 9s aged into the physiognomy of
 -.e nal he was sure that it was H-r ,ther than his former faithful
 urthwith to a lawyer hied Gallo
 and suit was entered against MT.
 5.i nheirner for possession of the
 esterday the cause was tried by t.e City Court of Montgomery. Gallo way introduced as witnesses five ne- groeS. The horse in dispute stood be- fore the Court House. The negroes gazed on the steed and declared "he sho' belongs to Bill" Not satisfied with this evidence. white men of un- impeachable reputation were intro- duced. They examined the steed and pronounced that 1t was the steed that Galloway formerly owned.
 MT oppenheimer was not dis couraged. He introduced Probate Judge Milo B. Abercrombie of Macon County, and other. rep utable men. They examined the horse and said that the animal had been owned by Mir. Oppenhelmer for ten years. The negro claimed that the horse had been lost to him for only five years.
 There must be such a thing as twin horses" observed Col. William Knox, who was q witness for Galloway.
 Judge Sayre was not convinced that : this theory was correct. He took the matter under consideration.
 But the question uppermost in in- terested minds is. Where is Gallo ways horse?'
 Other cases were disposed of yester- day as follows by Judge Sayre:
 Anthony Matho vs. Mrs. Matte Pow ell, garnishee; garnishee discharged on answer.
 Wash Wells vs. Mrs. Matte Powell, garnishee; garnishee discharged on an- swer.
 w. W. SeidIe vs. L. P. Lowryi set. tied and dismissed.
 The court will continue today the consideration of civil cases.
