110 NOTED MAINE HORSES. 



Heath sold him when five years old to Jesse S. Lyford, 

 of Lewiston, and he sold him the next' year to O. N. Cut- 

 ler, of New York. This horse gained considerable notor- 

 iety in this State as the subject of a law suit of Lyford vs. 

 Cutler. Lyford paid Mr. Heath over two thousand dollars 

 for him, and during the trial it came out that the money 

 was used to lift a mortgage from the farm the colt was 

 raised on; that but for him would probably have been 

 there now.
