Yesterday morning a man was driv-
ing n span of horses attached to a
wagon along on Elm street, and
when near Poydras street, they either
stauled or banked, when the man
began whipping them numerically,
making large wells, from which the
blood soon began to How profusely.
The team could not, ar would not
bulge, and jumping from the wagon,
he struck them over the heal with the
butt end of his whip, treating them in
Il most brutal manner. Those of the
citizens who saw It, were indignant at
the conduc. of the irate man, and
would have referred the matter TO a
policeman, had their been one In The
neighborhood. Every man has a right
TO control his own property. hut not TO
malireat them. The law Justly directs
that they must be haadled In a hu.
man way.
