Although by good playing on both sides the ball was brought to the ten yard line several time.i, neither side was able to score again. This left the score after play¬ ing the last quarter in semi-darkness 5 to 0, in favor of Frerport. Arthur Hendrickson, of Baldwin, charged with grand larceny in taking a horae from the stables of John Hall¬ iday, was discharged Monday evening when the case came up ,before Justice Norton. ,, According to the evidence Halliday bought the horse on September 27; he paid $30 down, wiis to pay $20 upon delivery of the horse and the balance, $25. on October 8. When the horse was delivered Hendrickson claimed that he only received ?15 of the $20 and there was still owing him the amount of $30, and that after consid¬ erable parleying a verbal contract was entered into whereby he was to retain title until he was paid in full. „ The former hearing wts postponed on request of counsel, not to give the defendant a chance to "make good" as announced.
