Gray Horse Causes Costly Law Suit

Gray Horse Causes Costly Law Suit
Two men claiming ownership to the
same horse caused very interesting
case to be tried in district court this
week. A G. N. boilermaker named
Hunt brot a gray horse from Devils
Lake to Minot in 1916 and turned it
over to Bill Anderson to break. An
derson sent the horse with two of his
own to winter at the Gus Larson
mine near Burlington. In the spring
Anderson's horses were found but
Hunts horse was missing. Hunt look
ed around and saw what he believed to
be his horse in l.. D. CotOn's pasture.
Cotton claims the horse was raised on
his farm and that he owned not only
the mother but the sire as well. Col
ton is supported in his statements by
his sons Walter and Charles, a hired
man and Dan Cotton. Hunt, Anderson,
Hutchinson, Rogers and Sanderson
claim that to the best of their belief
the horse at the Cotton farm belongs
to Hunt Hunt sent Anderson to Col
tons place some time ago to identify
the horse. Cotton says that Anderson
was shown three gray horses in the
barn, none of which was the grey that
Hunt had claimed. A gray horse from
the Conan farm, looking much like the
horse that Hunt claims, was substitute
ed, and this one Anderson said he
was sure belonged to Hunt, Cotton
claims. Atty. Bach appears for Cotton
and G. 3. Davis for Hunt.
