Ross Given $50
In Rurnpus Over
Bad Hoss Trade
Wins Suit Which Grew Out
Of Trading Span of Mules
For Mays With Heaves.

John w. Ross, a farmer living
north of town, yesterday afternoon re-
ceived jury's verdict in Judge Will
ler's court for $50 damages against
Otis GOA and T. Balsum, in replevin
suit to recover a span of mules he
snapped" for team of horses which
he claims developed a bad case of
heaves within remarkably short time
after the trade.
The trial of the "hoss swappin'
case which had attracted considerable
attention, occupied most of the day
yesterday in the Common Pleas Court
room.
After the jury's verdict had been re-
turned for Ross, Judge Willer then
tried GOA on a charge of disturbing
Ross peace, the complaint growing
out of conversations between GOA and
Ross after the horse trading deal. The
Judge fined GOA 81 and costs. His
attorney, Harry Alexander, promptly
filed notice of an appeal in the re-
plevin suit and appealed the disturb
ance of the peace case.
According to testimony brought out
at the trial, it was hard to make out
| whether any of the animals in ques-
ton were worth much. Ross declared
he put his team, the fruit of his trade,
to work on the day following the deal,
and they promptly showed their
malady.
He forthwith returned to GOA :
barn and wanted to trade back" Co
"a in plain terms informed him that
he was not an "Indian trader" and
that horse trade is a horse trade
and that is all there is to it. He re-
fused to allow Ross to ''renig."
Ross went to Prosecuting Attorney
]. Henry Caruthers and tried to bring
some prosecution, and when it was
pointed out that in the eyes of the
criminal law, ''hOrse trade is a horse
trade" he resOrted to replevin suit.
On the other side, witnesses also
testified that one of Ross mules haG
sad case of the pink-eye and that the
other couldn't see very successfully
out of either eye.
By the time that Ross had asked
Coca to trade back, the mules, how.
ever, had been passed on to someone
else.
The case was watched by horsemer
in the Cape with deal of interest
who believed its outcome might set
precedent to be rather closely observed
in manipulating trades in horse flesh
in the future
When the Jury decided Ross had $5t
damages coming his way, they simpl!
remarked generally, that You never
can tell what Jury IS liable to do"
The jury itself wasn't unanimous
about its verdict. Only four members
signed it, and for all horsemen'S ref
erence library, here are their names:
George w. Cline, P R. Alternately, w
b. Beach and Leroy Moore.

EXTENDED The Time
FOR FRISCO CLAIMS
November l is New Date For
Filing-TO Affect c. G. Ms
Disposition is Belief,

Official notification from the St.
Louis office of Thomas T. Fountleroy.
special master in the receivership of
the Frisco Railroad, that the date for
filing claims against the road has been
extended by the Federal Court to No
vember l, is being circulated in the
Cape and Southeast Missouri.
An order extending the time in
which to file claims was entered in the
United States District Court on Au-
gust p.
1t declared that all persons having
claims against the St. Louis and San
francisco Railroad Company may pre-
sent them to Hon. Thomas T. Fauntlc-
roy, the special master, and have them
considered as though they had been
presented prior to June l, 1915, on
condition that they present Suchclaims
and their proof in support thereof not
later than November 1, 1915
In Special Master FauntIeroy's no
tice he sets forth that under the orig
inal order, which provided for the
filing Of claims, and which applies to
this new order, the claims must be
verified-that is, sworn to before an
officer authorized to administer oaths
and show fully the natures, dates of
accrual and amounts of the claims.
Your claim" he says. If you have
any, should be prepared in this manner
and, with proof in support thereof,
should be filed with the undersigned
not later than November !. 1918"
The extension Of the time for filing
of claims against the Frisco is looked
upon as meaning a delay in the roads
reorganization this fall.
Railroad financierS were expecting
the reorganization plans of the Frisco
to be announced before November 1
this fall, but with the order iust grant
ed by the court, this is virtually auto
matically delayed.
At the same time. it is surmiscd
that this order delays any action to be
made to make disposition of the Cape
Girardeau & Northern railroad.
The rumor has been current in bust
ness circles in the Cape for the last
few days that the c. q. & \ would be
sold in a short time The court has or
dercd the sale of the road, but in the
order it does not specify the date when
the sale shall take place.
At the same time the court ordered
the Frisco to make good its contract
with the {. G.. & " in which it agreed
to guarantee an issue of more than Il
million in bonds of the Cape Girar-
dcau & Northern.
Should the line be sold to satisfy
the bonds that still are outstanding on
the railroad, the Frisco will have to
pay the difference between the sale
price of the road and the value Of the
bond issue.
The situation is such, also, that it
would be virtually impossible to sell
the road. so that railroad men expect
to be included in the general rcorgani-
cation plans for the frisco that are
to come this falls.
Receiver X. H. Schultz the other day
when asked about a tentative sale of
the line, declared tina the had heard
nothing Of the matter and that he an
ticipatcd that the affairs of the road
will continue to be handled as they are
without change till the Frisco re

blown down and soaked by rains, has
been saved by the hot sun driving off
the fields quickly.
This has meant much to the farm

with each warm day. Much of the
corn that it was believed was ruined
by water, has been revived and will be

1t is estimated that some of thu
fields lost 25 per cent of the yield
There are certain pessismistic men
who have estimated the loss at a much
higher figure. Farmers now say that
their losses will be small, with the ex-

1t has been said that should many of
