the following story: The monotony
of quiet Thanksgiving celebration
was abruptly disturbed on Thanks
giving evening by serious dispute
for the possession of a team Of
horses that ended in fatal accident
to John Hartew, who was thrown
out of his buggy in runaway.
1t seems that there had been a
dispute between Elmer and John
Hartew, as to the ownership of two
horses, kept at the Central hotel
barn, the property of Elmer Hartew.
On Thursday afternoon John Hartew
Elmer's brother, came in from his
| farm to renew his demand for the
horses. 1t was already getting dark
! when John approached Elmer about
the matter, who was watering the
| horses in the yard. Both got @

the street to telephone for an Off
GER. In the meanwhile, according to
reports, son of John and an un
known person mounted the horses
and rode away with them and John
went and got his own team and fol
| lowed the horses. When Elmer re
turned and found the horses gone he
at once gave chase, resulting in {
dash through the streets, with two
| men on horseback, man in a buggy
close behind and other vehicles fol
lowing. The two riders managed Il
