The limit ex pired Tuesday and tlie horse waa trotted out to be sold to the highest bidder. There was an immense crowd assembled when the bids were opened. Tho sym pathy of the people seemed to be with the colored delinquent, and the bidding was lively, raising, one cent at a time. It kept right on until it reached $'111, and at this sum the hone was knocked down to Roawell Brown. Then the crowd chipped in enough to pay for the horse and to buy a bag of meal, and they turned the horse and meal over to the colored man as a gift, and he now wears a smile clear around to the back of his neck., : ., , 1 ti. jj.. -.
