The Connecticut humane society again
has been compelled to discipline Loren
BOsworth of Eastford. Aft,r the vigor-
GUS treatment which Bosworth received a
year or two ago, he had behaved very
much better and 1t was hoped that he
would continue to do so, but during the
past few weeks it has come to light that
his stock was being sadly neglected. Last
week the agents Of the society visited the
premises Of Bosworth, where they found
six horses roaming about his fields and In
the forests without food or shelter and
likewise two bulls and one sheep One Of
the bulls was so weak that it could hard
~ stand alone when the agent of the
society attempted to take it to place Of
shelter. Complaint was made to s. b.
Harvey OF Willimantic, prosecuting at.
torney for the humane society, who went
to Eastford Thursday and caused the
arrest of BoswOrth on charge OF cruelty
to his animals. He was brought before
Justice j. M Keath. He entered de-
murrer and refused to plead to the COM
plant. Justice Keath then found him
guilty and imposed fine OF So aud costs,
which Mr.. Bosworth paid. Mr.. Bosworth
is "a years old. In addition to paying his
fine and costs Mr.. Bosworth paid the ex-
penses of caring for his stock and took it
home, promising to care for it properly
