Errand Kills Horse and Gets Driver in Fight

CLEVELAND, O.—Adolph Gablesteen, boarder at the home of Joseph Sechmopzer, Main and Center avenues, is positively convinced "he’s (the gay that put the tune is misfortune." Happy Hooligan in his palmiest days lived in a shower of dollar ) bills and tnrkey suppers compared (to the luck he had yesterday, Gableeteen maintains. Gablesteen borrowed a horse from (Bechmopcer and hired a wagon from the West Side Transfer company. He drove to Parana to bring a trunk and two suitcases into Cleveland. On his way home to Parma the horse fell exhausted at Fulton road and Clarke avenue. In falling the animal broke both shafts of the wagon. Gablesteen telephoned the transfer company to send a rig to get his trunk and cases and another to take the wagon to the barn. When the transfer driver started to take the rig away and left the horse lying in the street a general discussion among onlookers started, and it

ended in a free-for-all fight Gable--Bteen fled. Patrolman Donnellan, of the West SSth street station, restored quiet ' Donnellan also telephoned for Veterinary Surgepn P. R. Powell. 3002 West 25th street Powell ordered the horse shot At 11 o’clock that night Gablesteen put in an appearance at Sechmopzer’s home. After explanations he figured out what It cost, besides the trouble he got into, to move a trunk and two suitcases from Parma. The answer is: One horse, 3150; damaged wagon, 914; services of one veterinary surgeon. 92.
