 NEWS LETTER
(speca1 to The Farmer.) )

1 Newborn. May 16-John R. Peck's
 suit for the recovery of the price or 1 a, horse which he alleges he sold to 1 George Robson and wife for SIP, came up before Justice P. H. McC3rthy Monday morning, with a record crowd of attendants, spectators and l witnesses Attorney R. c. Malette was counsel for plaintiff, while At torney J. Robert Beecher represented l the defendants All the w1tnesss TOT the former swore that money con- l sideration was agreed upon at the time of change of ownership of She | horse but all of Robson'S witnesses l denied this. and said that the transfer | was in the nature of 8, gift, the horse l had been the subject of inquiry by | the humane officers, and Robson as a neighborly good turn offered to take 1 the beast to his barn for observation and possible cure. All Robson's skill as a veterinarian was ineffective, how 1 ever, and thinking he had perfect | right to do so, he turned the horse over night to a friend, Ed. Amber,
 for further observation and consulta- tion.t The conclusion of the equine 1 clinic was that the animal was a fit l candidate for the boneyard only. A | fat rendering man was then notified who came and took the critter ' away. Robson and AmbIer both dis i claimed receiving a, cent for the horse, | and the former averred in view of the
 fact that he got only his trouble for | his pains, that a suit at law by the | neighbor he tried to help was too
 much like crowdfng the mourners, | and so he took an appeal to the court i of common pleas. The preponderance | of evidence was for the plaintiff and | the justtce decided in his favor, but was willing to hold up to case for a
 week if the parties in interest show o5ifi firv1 %rN1 Q P6- ble settlement, in what to most per sons familiar with the facts looks | like a Inisunderstanding.
