Solomon's Wisdom Fails
In Famous Hoss Case
Ownership of Animal Established by Evidence
And Law, After All. Court is Simply Dis
gusted and Lampoons Blind Steed.
Nick Moss Of Ross got The hoss.

I Nick Moss OF Ross got the hoss.
At least Nick started home with
it this afternoon following a haal
decision by Justice of the Peace
1 Friedrich in the now famous horse
case.
/ The attempt to decide the case
4 bv solomon methods proved un-
successful and the court was forced
t. resort TO the law and evidence.
IT WAS SOME PROBLEM.
The preplexing problem which
confronted Judge Friedrich was
brieqy as follows. William walker
OF Hessville and George Alberts of
Ross, Ind. each claimed ownership
or a horse found by Nick Moss, a
neighbor OF Alberts. Walker en-
ployed Attorney c. 3. Tinkham to
sue for possession OF the animal,
while Alberts engaged the firm Of
Conroy & Mcmahon.
Walker and Alebrts each identi-
fed the horse as the one he had
lost Judge Friedrich heard the evi-
dcnce and ordered the horse
brought into court today.
HORSE INDIsPosED.
TIE horse was indisposed this |
morning when Constable julius |
Taussig went to the Nick Moss
farm TO serve the summons OF the /
court. Nick said that owning to
The advanced age and partial blind
ness Of the animal it could not |
make the trip to court.
julius insisted however. that he
must produce the animal in court |
and started to lead him to Ham
mond. After proceeding few hun |
dred rods the horse, which is wind
broken and has the heages. was un- !:
aole to continue and fell down.
julius returned to the farm and
persuaded Moss to bring the horse
to Hammond on a motor truck.
THE HoSs WAS INDIsPOsED.
The motor truck with the horse
aboard parked on Fayette street
beside the Hammond building
where it was viewed by the court
and the two litigants. Judge
Friedrich had hoped that the horse
would indicate by some sign Of az
lection which Of the two men was
his master. But the aged animal
was hardly able to hold up his head
and his eye-sight was too poor for
him to distinguish the men.
That" said Judge Friedrich, is
a hell Of horse
