erably decrepit looking horse. which was
being cruelty beaten by another negro walk
ing by its side. At each blow the poor animal
would make a coavulsive effort to get into
trot, but was too weak to do more than
stumble along. While the negro on foot
was raining heavy blows on the back and
sides of the horse, p. J. Duffy, who hap
pened to be out there, had his attention
directed TO the scene. Without a moments
hesitation Mr.. Duffy stepped up to the Negro
in the wagon, and told him he would have
him arrested If he did not stop. Both
negroes became very angry, and threat
ened to prosecute Mr.. Duffy for stopping
them on the highway. The gentleman hirec
