horse fancier and animal trainer, o.
France, who never struck a dumb
beast III his life, could witness some
of the cruelties to horses, practiced
in this town, his big heart would
burst with remorse.
| Yesterday in the north end Of
town some young men beat an over
burdened horse so severely that it
fell PROSTATE to the ground and they
attempted to make straw fire under
the helpless creature in order to
rouse it. The straw would not burn
and the animal finally struggled to
its feet in sheer terror. This has
happened repeatedly of late and if
the brutal pastime is INDUCED in
again, steps will be taken to deal out
just punishment.

anyhow" This sight was witnessed
by several ladies who were helpless
to do anything in the matter.
