Horse Gets Hot
Seat for Eating

There is the tale of KerchevaI. A
popular horse in the West 80 years or
so ago, he had won the Burns handi-
cap, then one of CALIFORNIA; most Gel
ebrated turf events. But perhaps sue
cess went to his head or it may have
been that he was bad one at heart
To this day men will argue about that,
but the facts in the case are plain.
Kercheval was man-eater At first
he merely nibbled at his stable boys
and-since those free and easy horse
men of another era probably figured
that there was no accounting for tastes
nobody took that seriously. Later,
though, he began swapping at every one
who hove into sight.
Soon not even the biggest helping
of oats or the iuiciest hay that money
could buy could tempt him half as
much as nice bite out of custom
er's arm. Even in an era when Dia-
mond Jim Brady and other monument
al eaters were searching the world for
new Inspirations for iaded appetities
ed to be fair though and SO they gave
him another chance.
1t was no use. Like many a man
who lets temptation run away with
him, Kercheval was determined to dig
his grave with his teeth. So, one aft
ernoon after he had slashed off most of
a lady's bonnet as well as two feet of
hair and some scalp, they decided that
there was nothing else TO do.
kerchevaI was indicted and tried in
due form by the sovereign state.
There was much that could be said in
his favor because, as has been men,
toned, he was a horse with winning
ways. But when Brady, set-a-MiIIion
Gates, Marcus Daley and those others
could be satisfied with lobster, guinea
hen and a few assorted truffIes il
seemed TO the jury that this four
legged aIutton was asking too much.
good men and true-and then returned
with the verdict. OF course there were
other alternatives open TO them, even
though they deemed him guilty beyond
doubt. But the thing was new then
and the West ever has been a section
given over TO novelties. Besides, there
may have been those who noted a
wicked CLEAN in the eye Of this horse
who stood in the crowded courtroom
with probably never a worry as to
where his next meal was coming from.
! do not know about that though.
know only the facts in the case, and
they are plain.
While Kercheval looked longingly at
the fat foreman the verdict was read
There was no recommendation Of
mercy for this horse, who probably
knew his oats so well that he never
cared for them when he could get
something tastier. The judgment was
terse and definite and clear
Kercheval had been sentenced to be
eIectrocuted.

COME of the tales that are told when
- sray-haired men gather on the ver-
andas while the stars stand their
watch at Saratoga:
There are the whispers about the
fortune Arnold Rothstein, the sure
thing gambler, may have hidden some
place before he suddenly departed from
this earth. Most of the veterans here
knew him-some of them only too well
and too sadly-and they doubt whether
his estate could possibly have been az
small as the records show.
1t is not that they suspect any living
person but they knew Arnold as he
was, a close-mouthed fellow who early
learned that you seldom can go broke
when you have aces wired. So they
sit and wonder where those aces-the
reserve fund, the stake for another day
can be.
Some of them will whisper that
there must be close to $500, 900 worth
of cash or easily negotiable securities
awaiting in some safe deposit vault for
an owner who never will return. They
