Delmar March 15 – As a result of a horse trade between Carl J.  Hearn of Delmar and  Harry E. Marvel of Seaford a referee trial was heard before Justice Stengle at Seaford on Thursday.  The evidence brought out the fact that in trading horses Hearn gave Marvel a check “to boot.”  After taking up the larger part of one day in getting the horse to Delmar, Hearn decided that he had the worst of the deal and stopped payment on the check.  Marvel brought suit and the referees gave a verdict in his favor for the full amount and costs.
