Hllk Krot bcitn fcau Bor4l. He Will Answer for Obtaining: (be Animal by False Pretense. A perspiring: company of spectators steamed into the city hall Tuesday afternoon to witness the ot Archie Medlin- for obtaining a little sorrel mare from Mr. Lee Wil son's stables iu Dallas last Sun day by false pretense and then for cruelty to animals in driving her to death. Esquire S.

Morris uad given notice in open court the day before in setting the trial for I uesday afternoon that there was to be a baseball game later in the afternoon and that the parties to the trial aud any others who felt interested had better be on time. The folks were there all good people, nice people, warm peo pie. Mr. A. G.

Manguin con ducted the prosecution. Messrs G. W. Wilson and A. L.

Bul-winkle represented the defense. At the conclusion of the argument the court discharged the prisoner on the count of cruelty, but bound him over to court on the accusation of having obtained the horse by false pretense. It seemed difficult to establish clearly by the evidence the contention that the boy had abused or over-driven the beast. But the evidence was more convincing that he had made false representations to obtain the horse from the stables. On Saturday the boy inquired about a team, but Mr.

Wilson declined to let him have the team without pay in advance. Sunday morning, the defendant appeared at the stable in the absence of Mr. Wilson and represented to Mr. Wilson's little son and to the stable boy that he had arranged with Mr Wilson to get a team. The horse was hitched to the buggy and delivered to the applicant.

Young Medlin is a son of Drayton Medlin who is in the State prison for slaying Will Brown at the Old Mill several years ago and who is to be liberated in October under pardon by Governor Ay cock. MRS. MARY PAYNE DEAD. Age ged 86 Buried Yesterday at Bethel A. R.P.
