EIr. C.. r. Basel~r's Horse Stabbed at the Ex-
position Grounds Wednesday.
One Of the most dsstsrdly deeds that has
ever been perp.trated on any one in Richmond
took place az tile German Day celebration
last Wednesday. About 9 O'Clock OF that
morning Mr.. Q. b. Baseler. brother OF the
well known John Hassler. left home in Hen
rico county for tho ENposit on Grounds. lie
lives on the Seven Pines railroad. about three
miles from the city. and " reach his destina-
ton with his family he drove 10 the festival III
a w~aeonetts. The horse attached TO the lat
ter he tied to the fence near the race course
and thought nothing of that proceeding uhtil
tho time arrived for his departure for home.
Mr.. Rascler then went TO where he had teth-
cred his horse. and found that some consum-
mato villain had indicted on the brute two
painful and serious wounds. A knife had
been deliberately stabbed IN the horss's body
in two places, and another disabling wound
WAS found on one Of the fore legs. The horse
was suffering intense pain, and another horse
had to be borrowed before Dir. Baseler could
convey his family home. The horse was also
conveyed home later, and a veterinary sur
econ summoned, but the kill Of the latter
could do no good, and the .brute's sufferings
ended with his death on Friday morning.
The horse wss quite 4 valuable one. and
Mr. Rasslor is much incensed At the villainous
proceeding. Ho can form no reason whatever
whv ,uoh O deed should have been CON-
uitted. and deems Il . pure and simple nct OF
x,ndalism that should DO acted upon severely

A GERMAN DAY DIFFICULTY.
An Interesting Case In the Police Court Yet
terday Morning.

An Interesting Case In the Police Court Yes
terdav Morning.
A case of considerable more than usual i'm
portanco came up in tho police court yester-
day, and several hours we're spent in the trial
of it.
Albert Peterson. O colored driver for the
music house of Hume Minor x Co.. was ar
rested on three charges, namely. for refusing
TO move his wagon when ordered TO do so by
an officer. for being disorderly on the streets
and for resisting o policeman while IN the
discharge OF his duty.
The affair occurred on German Day. ON
GERS f. @. Bailey and W. L. Waddill bad
spent the day at the Exposition Grounds and
were coming down town on al electric car.
Sergeant Alex. TomliDson was also on the
car, although he had not been 10 the Exposl-
ton Grounds, and all three were in citizens
dress.
As the car turned from Franklin street into
Ninth street, going east, the wagon OF Hume,
Minor y Co. was standing at their
door and n piano was being brought
out for loading. Ihs car was stopped. As the
horse was across the track, and Officer Bailey
got of the car, and, taking the horse, led him
across the street. "a,
The driver ran ont Of the store and seized
the bride Of his horse and at the same time.
the officer claims, caught the policeman By the
collar. The horse was then released and Pc
terson started across the street with him Still
maintaining that the msn had no right to ro-
move the animal. Sergeant Tomiinson then
| advanced upon the driver and told him to
| stop talking or he would be arrested. Tho
sergeant then took hold of him, and says
that the driver caught him by the coat
collar. Officers Bailey and Waddill closed IN,
and Bailey drew his revolver and struck
Peterson over the head. and Sergeant Tom
lipson also gave him q rap with his club. ,
The testimony COON became a question OF
~veracity between the three policemen and a
half dozen Witnesses. although all agreed
that Peterson made no effort to strike any OF
the men. Peterson claimed that he dld not
know that the men were policemen. and they
claimed that they informed him that they
were. -,
D. c. Richardson defended Peterson and
Colonel Sam Page conducted the prosecu-
ton.
Justice Crutchfeld held that no officer has
a right TO order n team moved when a wagon
! is being discharged OF loaded, and therefore
dismissed the first charge. He fined Peterson
$3.50 for being di-orderly, and sent himt the
hustings conrt for resisting the officers.
Mr.. Richardson pronounced a scathing re-
hike uponthe officers. whose conduct he con-
| sidered unwarrantod. and slightly animated
that the German Day festivities might posi-
! Div have something to do with their action.
