DISCOURAGE HORSE
TRADES IN INDIANA
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, May 29.-
David Harum must reform If he trades
horses in Indiana. The legislature has
forbidden all trades of the kind for
which he claimed admiration. 1t has
always been the rule in the past since
the foundation of the world that when
people traded horses they traded only
for what they could see, unless war
ranty was demanded and given. And
the horseman who would point out
defect in his own horse would lose
caste Immediately, unless he merely
pointed out one defect to keep the pur-
chaser from noticing greater one
And the owner of a blind, sick or
spawned horse, or one that was balky
or given to stump sucking" who could
trade it to a neighbor without letting
him suspect the truth would boast for
years Qf he resembled David Harum)
of his excellent swap" Rigid moral
ity forbade that horse should be
"doped" to conceal the fact that he
was ill, or that an outright falsehood
should be told concerning 1t. But If
the purchaser chose to deceive himself
after examining the animal, or failed
to discover any of it's faults or defects,
why should the seller care?
But now comes the legislature with
law not only forbidding the use OF
drugs or of any article to conceal the
fact that a horse is sick, lame or de-
fective, but requiring the trader to
run down his own horse. whoever
shall sell or offer to sell or exchange
any horse or mule, knowing the same
to be afflicted with 'glanders' or any
infectious or contagious disease, or
knowing it to be afflicted with the
'heaves' or to be- broken winded' or
'cribber' and shall conceal the exist
ence of such disease from the person
to whom he is offering the animal,
shall be fined not more than $500. to
which may be added imprisonment in
the Jail or workhouse not longer than
six months" To show that this does
not merely refer to doping" horse
or otherwise taking active means Of
concealing his defects, employing "any
trick, artifice, drug or any device to
conceal the existence of such disease
or defect" is specially made punish
able.

SISTER OF DROWNED MAN
WRITES TO HIS FRIENDS

VENICE, May 29.-Andy Anderson,
who made a daring but futile attempt
to rescue Captain G. H. Cochran and
a companion who were drowned in the
surf here following the capsizing of
the launch Boston on May A, has re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Thomas Mar
tin of Millstown, Canada, In which the
writer states that Captain Cochran was
her brother, and that by drowning he
had come to his death in the same
manner as two of his brothers and
three sisters. Mrs. Martin says she
had for years been without any knowl-
edge of Cochran's whereabouts, and
that it was by the merest chance that
she came across a press dispatch con-
tanning an account of his tragic death.
W. H. Fair who was Cochran's busi-
ness associate and who with local boat
men met the expenses of Cochrans
funeral, was considerably surprised on
learning that sister survived Coch-
ran, as the impression prevailed that
he had no relatives. The few effects
of Cochran's, together with particulars
of his brief residence here, will be for
Warded to Mrs Martin.

AGED BLIND WONDER DIES
Maryland Man Worked Forty Years
Without Sight the Same as an
Ordinary Person
to The Herald.

SpeClal TO Inc 11eIilu.
CUMBERLAND, Md, May 29.-After
forty years of blindness had failed to
stop Joseph Warnock from performing
all manner of labor, it remained for
death at 72 alone to still his busy hands
and active faculties. He was the Won
der of this section of Maryland. Bereft
of all sight, he was never dependent on
others for help.
Warnock cleared land, made sawlogs,
worked for farmers, could pitch nay,
NOV, rake and bind grain, make SHIN
giles and do almost anything that per-
son with eyesight could. He made 500
to 600 excellent shingles day during
the winter, which he traded at the
stores for such commodities as his
necessities required. There are houses
in Homecoming and Barton today that
still have on their roofs shingles made
by this blind man. After the shlngie
timber was exhausted Joe turned his
attention to making handles for PICKS
for the miners.
His ability in getting around through
the woods and mountains without get
ting lost was also remarkable. When
he found a suitable tree it was soon
| felled by the strokes of his ak, and the
portions he wanted were chopped Off
He could invariably tell in which di-
rection the tree would fall. He was
fond Of music and learned to play a
violin well. With his music he was
able to make considerable money. as
he gave dances and picnics, at all OF
which events he was the only musician.
Warnock never married, but lived the
life of a recluse for years, doing his
own housework. His shack was de-
stroyed by fire once, after which he
built himself a small shed. Even in
death he was not dependent on charity
for decent burial, as he had regularly
laid aside sums of money to be used
in giving his remains decent burial. He
died leaving no debts to pay.
His remains were buried in the Odd
Fellows cemetery at Moscow, this
county the religious services being in
charge of the Dunkards, of which faith
he was a believer.

PASADENA, May 29.-The owners
of the new trail up Mount Wilson are
'up in the air. in both a literal and
figurative way over the inroads, or
rather uproads, of the autoists. In
fact, there will be no more scorching
from bottom to top of the new trail,
and the fiat has gone forth with dull,
sickening thud. No longer will autos
be allowed to use this private trail
without permission of the observatory
people and others in authority, and 1t
is strongly intimated that such permis-
sion will only be granted in exceptional
cases. The reason for this course is
the danger to regular travel through
the trips Of the stunt artists.
Miss Hazel Jones was thrown from
her bicycle last night on Dakota street
near Fair Oaks avenue, and when she
attempted to rise she discovered that
woman is only visitor in the city and
her stay will now have to be lengthend

EDISON COMPANY TO APPEAL
TO U. S. SUPREME COURT
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, May 29.-The Edison
Electric company, through Attorney
Trowbridge, it's counsel, announces this
evening that the decision of Federal
Judge Wellborn in the suit against the
city will be appealed. This will bring
the whole matter up before the United
States supreme court and as there are
many novel contentious in the suit the
case will become one of national i'm
portance
Briefly, the Edison company has all
along contended that in building the
municipal electric light plant Pasa-
dena as a city exceeded it's rights. 1t
was contended that the building and
operating of such plant is not a
city purpose in the correct defini-
ton of the freehold charter clause and
that unless the business is "city pur-
pose" the city has no right under the
charter to engage in such occupation
1t is also contended that as the city
plant has to pay no taxes, while Edi-
son company does, the constitutional
rights of the company are infracted
through unjust competition.
Both of these contentious and sew
eral others found no favor with Judge
Wellborn. who sustained the demurrer
of the city and decided that there was
no necessity of trying the case on
facts. 1t is from this decision that
an appeal will be taken.
