Horse Traders Do
Thriving Business

Starting with the hole in u dough-
nut and getting out OF the game With
the doughnut, is about what some of a
gang of horse traders did in a horse
trading bout" that was hotly waged
for TWO or three hours in an uptown
feed yard Monday afternoon. The
traders and their trading drew small
crowd.
1t was said that no less than twenty
three trades were pulled or during the
session. and the traders numbered more
than a dozen. Each one of them had
4 horse or a team. some of the plugs"
being of little more value than the
hole in the doughnut referred to. The
trading progressed so rapidly that it
would have taken an expert hookkeeper
to have kept the accounts had there
been any 10 keep.
The offering of horses ranged all
the way from a pony not much larger
than a donkey to pretty fair teams.
Some of the traders had harness and
vehicles, and all we're willing and
eager TO trade. The trafficking pro-
crossed with speed, One man traded
horses three times without having time
between deals TO take the harness of
the horses
one trader appeared with Skate
of horse" that he offered to sell for
sos. Just how many times he swaped
horses is not just known. but when
he quit he sold the horse he then owned
for So, bu' he had SIS OF boot money
in his pocket from trades made that
started with the SOS horse.
trader drove Wirh rI,nt
of a pony hitched TO a buggy. When
he quit and drove out he had pretty
fair team, double harness and buggy.
Another trader started with scrub
team. He finished with a team and
s45 OF boot money. Some Of the keen
est of traders invariably refused to
trade unless they got boot money.
even tho Il was no more than 81 or
even 30 cents. II might be mentioned
pareniheticaily that the novice at horse
trading had abou; as much chance in
this game as the proverbial snow ball
in hades.
