Paid A Fancy Price

PAID A FANCY PRICE

When The Animal Reached Here It Was Found That He Had Been Duped.

Robert McCardy, who lives just east of the city, was recently the victim of a flim-flam game.

He was in Philadelphia on a trip, and was approached by a man who showed him a horse that could step in 2:16.

At first Mr. McCardy did not care to make the purchase but the "owner" made a price on the animal that was a bargain and he bit. The price, which Mr. McCardy refuses to divulge, was paid, and Mr. McCardy ordered the horse shipped on to Ann Arbor.

When Mr. McCardy got word from the depot that his horse had arrived he went down to take it out to his place. But he found a practically worthless animal. The seller had shifted horses on him, and he is now out the fancy price paid for a racer.
