Americas Times Recorder What looked
like case of cruelty to animals was wit
messed here Saturday in a shipment of
cattle routed from Arlington, Ca. to Kan
sas City. Ninety-seven head of poor
cows and yearlings were jammed and
packed INTO one car, ana so closely were
they crowded together that it was impos-
sible for one of them to turn or move
about Many of them had been dehorned
the day before and were suffering greatly
from this torture. Four of the poor brutes
had fallen upon the floor of the car, and
being unable to rise again were quickly
trampled to death. The cattle had been
in the crowded car a day and night, and
1t is very doubtful If they had been given
food or water in that time. Such cases
as this should be severely dealt with by
the authorities.
