Where the Blame Lies in a Cottage Hill Horse Sale
A local note recounts a dispute over a horse sale where a stranger lost a horse after a forceful seizure. Jacob Grasmann and Harry Smith dispute the events, with Grasmann claiming he sold the horse for 150 dollars and received 5 dollars as part of the bargain, while John Tomasop led the horse to the barn and the matter ended with settlement. The piece argues the blame should be placed where fair-minded readers see it.
