ADJUSTMENTS
"The Old Homestead.i

The perennial drawing power of
 The old Homestead" is indisputable,
 and it's long success and continuous
 popularity are due in inconsderable measure to the fact that it is q
 perfect transcript of nature holding the mirror up to nature as do few other plays of modern times. It was accounted good play twenty years ago as far back as 1886, when it had its initial performance at the BOs- ton theater, and made the most tel ling success ever scored by a new
 production in Boston. Year after year since then it has repeated that success, and it has even improved with age. Little melodramatic touches and effects have been elim- mated until now there is more na- tural wit and humor in the dialogue and more genuine touches of pathos

HORSEY TIMES
 IN POLICE COURT
Three Cases Have to Do With Equines, One Pre- senting a Horse Trading Incident Not Unlike That of David Harum Fame

There was a David Harum atmOS phere about the city police court yes terday afternoon. three of four of the cases being in some manner connected with horses and one being the direct outcome of q horse trade quite as typ ical as the one made famous by Wes- colt in his famous story of the banker from Bonneville. To save the occasion from being completely horsey Andy Garcia was pressed into service to an swer to the usual charge of being sleeping drunk
 Just to start the ball rolling Henricl Kusen Jap, who drives a wagon for the White Star Laundry was arraigned for driving on the wrong side of the street He pleaded guilty, eXcusing himself by stating that he had to get on the other side of the street and forgot that he should have headed his steed in the opposite direction. He was assessed three dollars
 Then came the piece de resistance w. A Petersen was produced as the defendant in a case wherein Humane Officer J. w. Canning charged cruelty and neglect to a horse. Specifically it was claimed that Petersen had left d sick horse to die without medica care or any attention upon his part and that it had been necessary for the officer to shcot the animal after hay ing been directed to do so by the State Veternarian
 The question of ownership of the an imal first engrossed the attetion O the court. Fred Duncan sWore tha he and his partner w. NJ. Hamme on December 9. traded the little ba! mare for an oIG grey horse, givins Petersen ten dollars to boot. A re signed by Po:ersen. Duncan said tha after the trade had been consummate, Petersen sa that he wished to le ~ the pay mare with Duncan Overn.rh; promising to call for the animal in th m0r' ing. bC:Cre morning, the mar became ill. seemingly being stricke wi,h paralysis.
 Throughout the latter half of tn night Duncan claims he worked owe the horse then belonging to Petersen and stated that the more ne did fo the suffering animal the worse it be came. In the morning Petersen ap peared and finding the horse in an ar parently dying condition disclaime ownership and refused to do anythin for the beast. Duncan and his part ner. it was alleged offered to share tr expense with Petersen of securing tr services ot horse doctor. but Peter

sen, alleging he had been cheated in the trade, declined to have anything to do with the horse. A
 Late that afternoon, when is was seen that Petersen did not intendto try to save the horse. MT. Canning was not flied by Duncan. In company with the state veternarian and another horse physicians, Canning went to the Duncan property and after examining the suffering animal. put the horse out of its misery. An expense Of six dol lars was then incurred in removing the carcass and burying it.
 Petersen, upon the case for the pros ecution being closed, asked permission to state his side. If I had been big enough" he began. those guys would have given me back my horse. I hadn't taken the mare off the place so the trade wasn't completed They Palmed a sick horse off on me and told me the horse was alright.
 Judge you wouldn't let me come down to your house and take your horse would you if I only intended to leave sick one in it's place. We'll that's what those guys did.'
 Judge Thomas intimated that it wasn't the court that was on trial nor a quesion of the ethics of a horse trade to be decided And then Petersen started in with line of talk calculated to belittIe the dignity of the court, but he was brought up with d sharp turn and reminded that there had been in- stances where men had been fined for contempt for less than he was saying 1 Well Judge" remarked Petersen ] T suppose you want me to take that dead horse and let those guys have the | live one"
 l This court is not settling a horse
 trade. neither is the court on trial don't want to be obliged to fine yot

 Frank Woods was the defendant i an action wherein Frank Smith charg r ed that he had been slapped in tn . face. Woods admitted that he Ina . slapped smith but said that Smith Ina . left spirited horse standing in fror l of the Woods blacksmith shop with tn 2 result that there was d narrow escaI from a miNup when another horse wa e being brought into the shop.
