n valuable Horse Comes TO Grief in q
Free Fight.
No small disturbance was created yes
terday morning at Sells & Forepaugh's
circus by free fight among the stations.
The powerful brutes bit, kicked and
jumped upon each other in the widest
fashion, and before the hostlars could re-
duce them to subsection one beautiful and
valuable white horse had been so severely
kicked that its sufferings were painful to
witness.
Officer McCurrie of the Society for the
prevention of Cruelty to Animals was
summoned to the scene of the equine
Tray, and at the request of the p-oprietors
ended the stallion's misery by shooting it
through the head. The men who had
been in charge of the horse had learned to
love him for his rare beauty and intelli-
gence, and would not remain to see him
shot.

has decided that the lin crow law" OF
that state, requiring railroad companies
