Never Buy a Horse After
Dark',
$25 CLAIM AWARDED VICTOR
MISZLER MV 'SQUIRE SMITH
TUESDAY.
Judgment for $25 was awarded
the plaintiff, Victor Miszler, em
ployed at Charles McArdle's stables,
Honesdale, against Albert "Kanttner,
a WhIte""Milts farmer, Tuesday after
noon at a hearing before 'Squire
Robert A. Smith, Attorney W. H.
Lee appearing for the prosecution
and Chester A. Garratt, Esq., for the
defense.
The claim was for $25 and inter
est for 'two years, balance owing on
a hbrse, buggy and harness sold to
the defendant by Mr. Miszler June 9,
1909, for $80, and on which pay
ments amounting to $55 had already
been made.
A plea of non-assumpsit was en
tered for the defense. Victor Misz
ler testified to the sale, and terms
of payment which were to be $10 a
month, The, horse was in "pretty
good condition," said Miszler, who
also remarked: "You can't get much
for $80 can you?"
Charles McArdle testified to a con
versation In his presence in whiph
Kanntner .refused to 'sign 'a judg
ment note 'for the balance.
Albert ' Kanttner swore that Mesz
ler guaranteed the horse to be true
every way. That the riext morning
he found the horse had the heaves.
He paid $1 down and thq real dur
ing a period of six months. The
horse, wouldn't work, and so he gave
It away.
Mrs. Kanttner 'testified that the
horse 'had the heaves and said: "I
was ashamed to ride behind it."
Miszler was. recalled and denied
having guaranteed the" horse.
Mrs. Kanttner's two infant chil
dren, Edwin and -'Kathryn, were
present at the hearing.
Declaring 'the case to be a one
sided one, 'Squire Smith granted the
judgment prayed for.
The horse deal was made in the
evening. The lesson It should teach
Wayne county farmers Is, never to
buy a horse In the dark.
CircusAdvertisingBrought
Trade to Honesdale
WHY NOT HAVE SIMILAR AT
TRACTIONS ONCE OR TWICF
A MONTH?
The "result of systematic, legiti
mate and thorough advertising was
shown' on Friday by several hundred
people coming to Honesdale from
the rural districts to attend the
Sparks circus.
The merchants of Honesdale: were
a happy hunch when a large major
Ity of these people visited their
stores. For days afterward they
wore a smile that wouldn't come
off, and from a business standpoint
it was a paying proposition on the
part of the merchant. It is said
that shows and circuses are not wel
come to a town, and they take "out
more than they, leave. This, un-
aouoteaiy, to a certain degree, may
be correct, but what about thn rov.
oral . hundred people who always
IBK8 advantage or like occasions
and visit the town, perhaps once or
twice a year to do their shopping?
Right- along these: lines Is an on
portunlty for the merchants of
Honesdale to' create or devise some
means whereby large numbers of
people, wllj be attracted to the town
once or twice a month for the pur
pose of stimulating business.
The summer boarding season is
here and there are large numbers of
,tne city' guests who come to the
county annually to have a good
time and be entertained. The num
bers are increasing yearly. Every
day the boarders go somewhere' for
a drive, .traveling sometimes from
fifteen to twenty miles. They go
to the largest country town or city
from where they might be staying
and money is no object with them.
It now lies with the Business
Men's association and Greater
Honesdale Board of Trade to co
operate in this matter and secure
the business' that might otherwise
go elsewhere. Floral parades, car
nivals, or other doings of a special
nature can be planned to attract
the people to Honesdale.
The summer-boarder Is not the
only class that the town wants, bjrt
It Is very desirous of the rural dis
trict trade. Farmers and others
who now go to other places should
come to the county seat. Arrange
ments might be made to have spec
ial excursions come to Honesdale
over the Erie and Delaware & Hud
son roads, thus bringing a large
number of people to Honesdale.
When the excursion comes there
should he some provision made for
the entertainment of the visitors.
Every prosperous business man
realizes the value of thorough ad
vertlslng. It the proposed scheme
were advertised as was the Sparks
show, the prdposltlo.HajvouW be an

DISCONSOLATE HOG ATTEMPTS

Who ever heard tell of a hog
attempting to commit suicide?
Nevertheless, if you haven't heard
of It; such is the fact. Not belne on

to get an interview with the porker.
But it is presumed he was crossed
In love by a fellow ho& and could
no longer stand being rebuffed and
took this means of doing away with
his "pig skin."
The hog belongs to Anthony
Rickert, -Indian Orchard. Sunday
morning he missed his lordship and'
a search ensued. He found newly
broken ground near the berm bank

JONES ROAD BILL CUT $500,000;
SCULPTOR BARNARD GETS
$80,000.
Next week will see the finish of
the legacy left to Gov. Tener by the
late Legislature, as the thirty -days
after adjournment will have elapsed.
All bills will either have been vetoed
or signed, or they will become laws
by reason of the expiration of thirty
days without action on the part of
the Governor. Quite a number are
still in his hands, although this
week has s'een the closing up of a
great many. '
Among the bills signed was one
providing for an addition or exten
sion of the Capitol Park grounds,
carrying an appropriation of $2,d00,
OOpr although only $200,000 Is made
available this year. Not a little ,
pressure was brought to bear upon
the Governor by Harrlsburg people
to sign the bill, and the Executive
evidently gave the matter careful
consideration. This was evidenced
by the statement he gave out when he
signed the .bill to the effect that if 'it
should develop that the land in ques
tion could not be secured for the
amount of the appropriation, he
would recommend that the next leg
islature repeal the bill. How likely
they are to do this may be guessed
by the fact that two successive Leg
islatures passed such a bill as Gov
ernor Tener just signed, almost un
animously, and this undoubtedly had
some Infliinnna with tho nnv.nn.

In vetoing a number of salary rais
ing bills, while approving others less
worthy,, the Governor brought down
upon himself the condemnation of
those" he did not favor, and many
comparisons .were made. What mov
ed him to such action is a matter of
conjecture, but he doubtless had
what he regarded as good and suffi
cient reason. The vetoes were not
on account of Insufficient revenue.
Another veto, which will probably
cause "more condemnation, was the .
Jones road bill, which was given
$500,000 by the Governor, instead of
the $1,000,000 appropriated by the
Legislature. There are many who
believe that the dominant party will
lose by this action, among the farmer
voters, for this bill appealed to them
especially. If money were necessary
thaf amount could have been cut
from some other bills, for there were
quite a few where the State was more
generous than fair.
