PONY DRINKS Avn BAR.

William Baker, sportsman
and unique farmer, created a
sensation at Fourth street and
broadway last evening with his
mascot, "SI1idOO", a nine
months-OId Shetland pony stand
ing 30 inches high and weighing
less than 100 pounds. He was
presented to Baker by the Cen
Try Bros. when the Gentry show
played Paducah last. Baker for
merry raised Shetland ponies
and became well known for his
skill in training them. He was
once employed in the Eaker sa-
loon and walking into the place
with his pony following behind
ordered drinks for two. The BAR
tender looked inquiringly at
him, not seeing the small pony.
Baker made another signal and
Immediately two tiny hoofs APP
peared ON the bar and a small
horses head looked inquiringly
at the man behind the bar. Ba-
ker visited many saloons and
his mascot attracted as much at
tention as a circus parade might.

them to be signed. When they do
that and the deed is returned to
Judge Puryear, the bond given by
Mr.. Fred Nagel to protect the school
board from any damage that might
result from the defective title Will be
released.
On looking up the title of the Jack

bought by the school board. Judge
Puryear found that part of it owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Knuckles several
years ago. had been conveyed to the
persons who sold 1t to the school
board, with the defective title, but to
Mr.. and Mrs. Knuckles signing the
deed in each others presence. The
law requires the husband and wife
to be separated when this is done.
Not desiring to delay the purchase of
the property by the school board, Mr..
Nagle, then owning the property,
gave a bond to the board guarantee
ing the title. Judge Puryear then
started the search Or Mr.. and Mrs.
Knuckles. which hi now terminated
