cases, and that he had the sympathy
and support of his community in IN
forcing the law. He reported de-
cidedly improved feeling in his section
favorable to the work of the organ

The Secretary reported for June. ad-

showed seven cases handled in july.
A Chinaman was arrested for using a
horse with a frightfully sore back, Vas
convicted and fined at Oak Park 81.
An abandoned COW on the highway
near Elk Grove had been cared fer. and
the animal saved from starvation, the

starving his horses had been iEvesti
gated by the officer and corrected. No
willfulness had been found, nor inten-
tional cruelty. An old and abandoned
horse was reported to him, and he
killed it. In the case of a party ar
rested for cruelty wounding a dog,
there was a failure to convict. An
abandoned horse later in the month
had been killed, as past recovery. His
last case was that of an arrest for
driving a horse with scandalously sore
shoulders, and a fine of 50 was in

in behalf of the work of the society,
and to say to him that the society
would cooperate with him in all ways
proper.
The board generally complained bit
terly that city magistrates do not pun
ish the guilty sufficiently to make he
work of the society respected by Of
tenders. 1t was complained that cases
are dismissed or the guilty allowed to
go with light punishment where the
facts justify severity President Smith
said: We do not wish to make ar
rests. Wherever persuasion and inter-
ference will prevail, we prefer it, but
when we arrest we think the mag
istrates should uphold our hands by
such punishment at least as will make
it worth while TO attempt to enforce
the law Unless this is done the cor
poration had as we'll disband."
The county magistrates were COM
mended as giving the society more as
