AS the horse breeding season APP
proaches many horse dealers of the
Middle West are shipping into the
State of West Virginia, stations
and Jacks to be used for breeding
purposes. Whenever these animals
are sold at reasonable prices there
can, of course, be no objection to
this practice Many promoters, how
ever, are organizing companies in
the various farming communities for
the purposes of selling to these
companies, stations and Jacks at
exorbitant prices. In many cases
$4,000 to $4,000 is asked for stall
lion and $1,000 to $500 for a jack.
II is seldom that an animal is worth
this much to the farmers composing
these companies First class import
ed stations may be purchased read
lily at from $1,000 to $500 and
home bred animals are always avail
able at from $500 to $1,000 Jacks
should sell at from $500 to $1,000.
Organizing a company and pur-
chasing a high class sire is certainly
a commendable step for any com
munity to take, but there is no rea-
son why the stock dealers of these
companies should pay eXorbitant
prices when excellent animals may
be secured for much less money.
Before paying $500 to $4,000 for a
stallion, look around and see If a
better animal can not be purchased
for less money.

sensational damage suit brought
against Charles Aldrich, of this city.

of his daughter. Anna Vogt, came to
a sudden close in circuit court here
today when Judge c. G. Sherwood di-
rected a verdict for the defendant.

rected verdict was based upon an af-
fidavit made by Miss Vogt, who swore
that the charges against Aldrich as
made in the complaint were false.
Mr.. Vogt claimed that his daughter
was only II years old at the time of
her alleged intrigue with Aldrich, but
In the affidavit the girl declared she
was 10 years of age before her first
meeting with Aldrich. The affidavit
further denied the statement of Vogt
as set forth in the complaint rela-
tive to unduly intimate relations be-
tween the defendant and Miss Vogt.

hardware men of Codington county,
is wealthy n widely known, and at
the time of the alleged acts complained
OF by Vost owned a hardware store in
Marion Junction. The damage suit
was brought against him February 9,
1914. The outcome is regarded as a
complete vindication of Aldrich.
