Defendants Story.
The defendant testified that the horse in
question is subject to corn boils. which re-
suit from strong feed. These bOils are
about the size Of hickory nuts. and when
they break, the sores are protected by the
use Of pads. He saw the animal when it
went out in the morning. About $50 O. clock
he received a telephone message saving
the animal was sick, and that was the first
time he knew where the animal was He

knew 1t was In good hands, and he would
let the Humane Society look after It, De-
fendant said that with proper care and at
tention the animal will recover while at
work.
He was questioned as to he cause OF
collie, and he said. Pain IS collie"
Not always" remarked the court
Collie is pain" added Mr. Davis. II
haven't had the collie for great many
years. but 1 have very vivid recollection
of its effects"
Mr.. Davis argued the case claiming that
the treatment Of the animal after being
taken out Of the cart was more cruel than
when 1t was drawing the cart
Judge Kimball referred 10 the proof and
said he thought the sores were not properly
protected. He thought Mr.. Dalrymple was
the responsible party.
The charge against Agent Paine was dis
missed. The case of MIR. Dalrympie was
postponed to hear Mr.. Davis on the law in
the case.
