Madden Files Suit
10 Recover Noted
Horse, Friar Rock

John =. Madden, Of Hamburg Place.
KY, resorted Co court proceedings veg
tefday to compel John I'll. Rossetter.
also q well known horse breeder OF
Santa Rosa, CAL, to return to him for
breeding purposes the great stallion
S'riar Rock, in the ownership of which
10th ssh men are interested.
Alleging that he has an apreemens
with Rossester, under which the latter
promised to send Friar Rock 10 Ger
lucky to fulfil stud bookings in 1921
ana l922. Madden yesterday applied to
the Supreme Court for an order re-
stralning Rossetter 9rom keeping the
thoroughbred on his Santa Rosa stock
farm and TO direct him to turn the
stallion over TO Madden and to no other
person. Madden also asked for re-
q aver for the horse with power from
ths local court to GO TO California; and
! cake possession Of him.
Sells Out Half Interest
Madden recited that In June. 1918,
Es. was the owner Of Friar Rock. which
re bought from August Belmont, and
tfat he sold q nne-haR interest In him
To Rossetter. Madden said he lived up
to his agreement with Ressetter and
shipped Friar Rock to California, where
the defendant horseman has had the
animal during the year 1929. The
agreement further provided, according
=, the sage of Hamburg Place, that he
Vas 60 have Friar Rock on his Ken
| t.acky farm during the years 1921 and
1929.
He complained that Rossetter has
| tistfy refused to ship the horse Mad
i den said he met Rossetter on December
/ 9 at the Waldorf and told him he
thought his attitude was unfsir, to
man replied, aI don't care; if there is
going to be fight over the horse, we're
going to have it while he is In my
possession. I am not going TO give you
! possession of Friar Rock until you
! sign that new contract"
1 The new contract referred to by Ros-
| setter was one suggested by him that
! he have Friar Rock in 1928 and 1924
/ and that an agreement aiso be made
/ with regard TO the valuable stud stel-
/ lion for after 1924. Madden said that
/ If it becomes necessary 70 sell the thor
oughbred through the receivership pro-
ceeding because of failure of he and
Possetter reaching an agreement, Frsar
/ Rocks value will be materially les
sened.
/ His Numerous Bookings
| Madden told Of the Importance Of
protecting his rights TO the stallion by
| February / because this is the begin
ming of the breeding season and Friar
Rrcg's stud has been increased from
| $500 in 1918, when Rossetter bought
an interest, to $4,000 at the present
time. Madden said it was OF great
| Importance TO him that he get Friar
Rock immediately, because Of numer-
| ous bookings he has made for him.
| August Belmont, president Of the
! Jockey Club and former owner of Friar
| Rock, made an affidavit in which he
I said that while February / was the
customary breeding time, he never
began mating his horses until Febru-
ary 15. II the breeding is delayed af-
! ter that date, said Belmont, the chances
/ for bookings are lost. Friar Rock was
bred by MFR. Belmont at Lexington
| KY, in 1915, to forty mares, and that
i is the number the former owner Of the
thoroughbred said he would breed him
to now if he still owned Friar Rock.
