Son Comes Into Court and Says He
Is Owner of Animal and Henry
Horn, Aged "a, is Locked
Up.
WHO OWNS THE HORSE?
Question Is Mooted One and VIII
Be Decided by James S. Burrows
Before Whom the Case

Unusual complications arising from
the trade of horse, the ownership of
which is mooted question, landed
Henry j. Horn, aged "a years, of 92S
Des Moines street, in the city jail last
evening. He faces a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses,
which is a penitentiary offence, while
William Lucas, the man to whom the
horse was traded had been made de-
PENDANT in suit in retinue by one
who seeks to recover the horse or its
value. And 1t is all brought about be-
cause Dan Horn, son of Henry Horn,
claims that the animal belongs to
him. The arrest of Henry Horn was
made at 6 o'clock last evening by Con-
stable T. j. Warner on warrant from
the office of Justice James c. Bur
rows.
The horse originally was traded by
the aged Henry Horn to Indian Joe"
Adams, who gave for it another horse
and $3.50 ito boot" Indian Joe"
thereupon sells the horse to William
Lucas for $50 and tent.
After these transactions had been
made Dan Horn, alleged owner of the
animal, steps into the play. He went
to Lucas to recover the horse or its
equivalent, but got neither and late
yesterday afternoon instituted suit,
swearing under oath that the property
belonged to him and not to his father.
This put Lucas in the mine hole,
as the story goes, so as counter
move he files an information against
Henry Horn, charging that he falsely
obtained the money Justice Burrows
is out of the city today and the mat
ter will not come up until tomorrow
Meanwhile Henry Horn is in jail.

Mike Elynn After Them.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, June 16-The
Iowa food and dairy commission has
started campaign against alleged
adulterated vinegar in eastern IOWA.
NJ. E. Flynn. inspector for eastern
Iowa claims that there was 100000
worth of adulterated cider vinegar in
the Iowa market principally in east
ern Iowa. He says If the .adulteration
were allowed for six months the man
ufacturers could clean up a quarter of
million of dollars, as 1t can be
made for five cents gallon and sold
for fifteen cents.
About fifty samples of vinegar have
been sent in to the state chemist at
Des Moines and prosecutions will fol-
low in each case If the vinegar is
found to be adulterated.

NEXT DOORS FRUIT TREE.
The Ono Whose Branches Extend
Over tho Fence Into Your Yard.

over tho Fence Into Your Yard.
The next door fruit tree, growing so
near the line that laden branches ex-
tend over the fence, has proved
source of untold spankings to the
good neighbors and even resort to the
police courts. One is inclined to sus-
pect that the original apple tree of
trouble hung over a neighbours fence.
The cause of friction is, of course,
the question of the ownership of or at
least the right to take and use the
fruit on the too widely spread
branches. Generally this fruit is
claimed by the person whose property
is thus invaded, but if he asserts this
claim to the point of gathering the
fruit without permission he may feel
the iron hand of the law, says Har-
per's Weekly. If he objects to the
presence of the branches which extend
over his property the owner Of the
tree must remove them. But If the
owner of the tree applies for the fruit
or asks permission to enter and take 1t
the owner of the land over which the
branches extend cannot refuse permits
sion for entry for this purpose. If he
refuses either to hand over the fruit
or to allow the owner of the tree to
enter and take it, then the owner of
the tree may enter without permission,
but he must use no force nor commit
any damage in so entering.
CartoiD1v tho most ootUhbor1v +bJpu
to do would be to divide that fruit.

DOWN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD
A Parting of tho Hair From Which
We've Partly Parted.

What has become of our we'll known
fellow townsman that used to brush
his hair two ways from a line extend
ing from crown to collar and swing
the ends over his ears? He was
leading citizen. He sat in the next
pew In front at church and always at

bank in st. Louis and was mate on
one of the Mississippi river steam
boats. He was n tloorwaler in a New
York dry goods store and kept Il saloon
just off the main street. Usually he
wore cluster of diamonds with lit
tie chain attached in his shirt front.
He was a conductor on the day ex-
press, a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He
practiced medicine and worked in the
boot and shoe store. He had been to
California and played cards for mon

Well, he's still In town. although
greatly changed. 1t was all the bar

ToIstoy's Thoughts on Death.

The fear of death is unnatural The
fear of death is the consciousness Of
sin.
The fear of death emanates from the
fact that people regard as life only n
small pert of it. limited by their own
erroneous conception.
Just as the owner of the fig tree
knows the time when the fruit Is ripe
SO God knows when to call the right
eous from this world.

Had it not been for fine, large,
ripe gorgonzola cheese, Antonio Skal
la, Naples stowaway, would have
reached New York in safety on his
third attempt. He slowed himself
too near the cheese on the steamer
Saxonia, and long before the liner
arrived Antonio decided that death in
any form was preferable to suffocation
by gorgonzola. So he gave him
