M'KAY ON TRIAL
He Is Charged With Cruelty to
Animals

before Justice Owens yesterday. Mckay

claimed that behind this charge is a more
serious one Of petty larceny. 1t is said
that Mckay, who has been building
hbuse on Fourteenth street, has made 1t
his custom to drive about the city after
4ark and survey the various houses in
course Of construction. Incidentally he

luse them in building his own house. The

about was poor specimen of that animal,

have been driven while its back was sore.
