N. H. Reeves, the blacksmith, was
arrested last week On complaint of
the state board of horseshoe exam
iners. The case was set for this week
and continued. The facts in the case
are that Mr.. Reeves was refused a
license to shoe horses by the board of
examiners, though his work has been
given the highest recommendation by
customers, numbering some of the
large corporations near his shop at
18th and Larimer streets. Mr. Reeves
is willing to have his merits passed
on by any unbiased examiners, but
will not submit to having prejudiced
white horseshoers move him from bus

probably win out in the courts.
