CUTTING OUT A HORSES TONGUE.

A Cruel Piece OF Work by an
Unknown NIiscreant In PhiladeI-
phia
Probably the worst case of cruelty to
dumb animal that has ever been
known in this city, says The Pbi5adez-
phia Times, has come to light through
an investigation which is being made
by the woman's branch of the Pennsyl-
Vania Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals.
On the morning of Sept. Il, James
Harvey, a carter, went to his stable at
Twenty and Tasker streets, to
feed his five horses. He found the
windows broken open. and at once sus-
pected that something had gone wrong
These suspicious he could not confirm
until he went to the stall of his pet
horse, handsome animal worth $3.50,
which he has owned for five years and
has trained to obey his call.
Here he found the stall and the
straw covered with blood. Blood was
over everything, and was smeared over
the open windoW-sill where the mis-
creants had escaped. He carefully ex-
amined the animal, but could find no
cut or wound. He noticed, however,
that blood was oozing from the poor
brute's mouth, who all the while, was
moaning and trembling as though in
acute pain.
AS he stepped to the front of the stall
to examine the bleeding mouth OF the
animal his foot knocked against some
thing in the straw. He stopped and
saw long piece of string in the straw.
Picking this up he was Mortified and
shocked to find at the end of it, in a
slipknot drawn tight, the tongue of the
animal, dripping with blood, the fresh
cut of sharp knife showing how some
persons had, in the night or early
morning, not many hours before,
stolen in through the window, slipped
the moose around the tongue and, hav-
ing pulled it forcibly out, with inhu-
man cruelty, cut it off and flung it in
the straw at the bottom of the stall.
The stable door was open, showing
that the men may have left the stable
that way, yet there are bloody tracks
leading to the window that point out
that as the way of escape. Harvey,
whose heart was nearly broken when
he saw how his favorite horse had Eeen
manned, called in horse doctor, who
stopped the bleeding and recommended
a diet of Cruel for the poor beast.
Strange to say, he is still alive, although
his only food is a mixture of chopped
food and water. He can not possibly
masticate hay or oats, yet Mr.. Harvey
insists he will entirely recover from
his cruel manning.
A few days ago the matter was plac-
ed in the hands of the woman's branch
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, whose agent, Mr..
McKlees, at once began an investiga-
ton. He at once said that two or more
persons must have been concerned in
the outrage, although there were but
the tracks of one person in the stable
yard, and about the stable. Harvey
could offer no explanation of why he had
been SO misused. He said he had no
enemies that he knew Of except prob
ably an ex-driver, whom he refused to
name, who when discharged had
threatened to get even with him. This
clew was followed out by the agent of
the society, but with no result.
