Exciting Horse Trade. Case

quite an extensive business in live

manner as did a former fraternal ar

salmon in the same building. Last
Wednesday L. W. Clopton, who has
been engaged in,teaming on the street
work, concluded he would rather haVe
one of Ern Case's horses than one ot
his, paying the difference of 55 and
taking posession of the horse. Mr.
Clapton was chuckling to himself and
almost feeling soriy for our artistic
friend, when a by-standt-r chanced to
remark that the horse he had just trad"
ed for was of no account, and at tho
same time making Mi. Case a liberal
qifer for his horse. - '.The- former trader
then offered to trade Ixick, but wlteri
Case refused to to take tho $5 back, a
lively discussion ensued, niuch to the
amusement - to the by-standers. At

both parties threatened to swear out a
