IT WAS SOME PKOBI EM. The preplexing problem which confronted Judge Friedrich was l"iefjy as follows: William Waiker of Hessville and George Alberts of Ross, Ind., each claimed ownership of a horse fund by Nick Moss, a neighbor of Alberts. Waiker employed Attorney C. B. Tirkham to sue for possession of the animal, while Alberts engaged the firm of t onroy ,t McMahon. Walker and Alebrts each identified the horse as the one he hjd lost. Judge Friedrich heard the evi
dence and ordered trie Horse brought into court today. HORSE INDISPOSED. The horse was indisposed this morning when Constable Julius lajssig went to the Nick Mos3 farm to serve the summon., of the court. Nick said that owning to the advanced age and partial hl:ndiiefs of the animal it- could not make the trip to court. Juii.is insisted, however, that he must produce the animal in court and started to lead him to Hammond. After proceeding a few hundred rods the horse, which is windbroken and has the hea.ves, was unaoie to continue and fell down. Julius returned to the farm and
created a sensation at tin juncture by rushing up to the court with two witnesses who testified that they were the horse dealers who sold Walker his horse. They said the horse held by Moss was not the one Walker owned. The court therec.pon decided that

THE HOSS WAS INDISPOSED. The motor truck with the horse aboard parked on Fayette street beide the Hammond building where it was viewed by the court imd the two litigants. Judge Friedrich had hoped that the horse would indicate by some sign of affection which of the two men was his master. But the aged animal was hardly able to hold up his head and his eye-sight vtna too poor for him to distinguish the men. "That." said Judge Friedrich, "Is a hell of a horse."

The court said that after seeing the horse he was convinced that it would have been physically Impossible for it to have walked from Walker's place in Hessville to the Moss farm in Ron where it was found. The Alberts farm be 1 n g next to the Moss farm it seemed reasonable to the court that the horse might have negotiated a half mile in fair weather. One witness when asked how he traced the horse, taid: "Why, I just said to myself, now if I was a horse that was loose where would I go. I went there and there he was."
"That's horse sense," commented the court.
