EARL is ACQUITTED

the teams were not in as good con-
dition as when bought. He said
that the city grader and plow had
been loaned on certain occasions
but 1t was not the custom of the
street and alley committee to
loan them. Mr.. Burch, partner
of Earl, said the latter had loaned
him the city plow and grader for
use in private contract. He had
secured an orcer from the mayor
once for use of the. plow, AS far as
he knew Mr.. Earl didn't devote
much time to his work as private
contractor.
Mr.. Hardiman thought he hae
seen the city teams used in filling
Mr.. Abcrombie's lots but was no
positive.
Mr.. Earl explained his connec
ton with the Isnert deal. H
stated that he was acting under OF
Iders from the mayor in haulin
| from Seventh street to Colorad
avenue, that he had had order
from the former chairman of tn
committee to loan the city plo'
ard grader where they were neede
that the city teams had never bee

had held a caucus of an hour or
more, they filed into the council
chamber and took their seats, every

Mayor Venable at once called
up the amendment to the street
railway franchise. Scoffern moved
that it be put on the final passage
and the vote resulted in a tie, the
negative votes being Burton, Dono-
van, Mckay and Temple. It was up
to the mayor to cast the deciding
vote. The mayor expressed sur
prise and looked it. He began,

MANY HORSES ARE KILLED.
OUTBREAK OF CHAMBERS
Dayton Horse Owners Much Wrought
up and State Authorities Get to
Work in Effort to Stamp Out the
Disease.

While there has been no suspician
of the disease in this locality, horse
owners are considerably alarmed
over the outbreak of genuine gland
ers, near at hand. At Dayton yester-
day twenty-five horses afflicted with
the disease were killed by order of
the State veterinarian who has pro-
nounced the disease genuine.
Scores of animals have been strick-
en- in and near Dayton during the
past two or three weeks and venter-
narians are now securing the city and
county about Dayton investigating all
suspicious cases Of sickness among
horses. According to local horse own
ers it has been many years since
CHAMBERS has appeared in Richmond
or Wayne county although there have
been supposed cases several times.
Chambers in it's genuine form is a
rare equine disease, but is highly in
fictitious and once started in a locality
is difficult to check. Some of the Day
ton veterinarians have been disposed
to call the disease influenza. but &C
cording to dispatches from Dayton
there absolutely is no doubt that the
disease is CHAMBERS.
