CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
A Hired Horse Claimed to Have Been
Abused.

Frank L. Wilson, who is one of the
deputy agents of the S. P. G. A. of Ok
ford county, came to this city on Thurs
day to confer with State Agent Perry
regarding : most aggravating case of
cruelty.
The affair occurred one week ago
Thursday. On that day man named
Keenan,. who is a farmer at Poland, en-
gagged horse owned by a neighbor named
Smith. keenan, got hesanimal to haul
woods to his house. He went into the
woods and got load of timber, which
was not very heavy one. But the horse
did not so along as fast as Keenan, de-
sired and the man cut sapling, which
was about an inch in thickness and pro-
ceeded to administer a severe lash1ng, SO
Deputy Wilson reports. Keenan, took the
sapling and beat the animal until the
stick was smashed to splinters and a
number of wounds had been caused on
the back of the horse and one eye had
been nearly closed.
keenan, drove the horse home and the
suspicious of the owner became aroused
that the animal had been receiving some
pretty hard treatment Mr.. Smith con-
cluded to institute an investigation and
not obtaining any satisfaction from
keenan,, started out for himself. With
one or two other men he went to the
woods where Keenan, had been and found
the exact locality where the horse had
been stopped and the beating admins
tered The tracks of man were plainly
noticed near by, while by the side of the
road was picked up athe sapling which
had been splintered.
Deputy Wilson was notified of the in
cident few days ago and came to this
CITY to be advised by the state agent.
Agent Perry was not long in reaching a
decision. He told Deputy Wilson to go
ahead Immediately and arrest Keenan, on
the charge of gross violation of the
statute respecting cruelty to animals.
Deputy Wilson returned to his home
Thursday afternoon.

STRUCK BY SHIFTING ENGINE.
Aged Waterbaro Man Killed in z. and
II. Yard.

Accident Occurred About $50 Last Eve
ning-No One Witnessed the Sad Affair
Remains Taken to Home.
Mr.. Moses P. Kicker, an aged and much
respected citizen of South WATERFORD,
and father OF Mr.. WILDER F. Kicker OF
this city, was struck by an engine in the
Portland & Rochester yards about 5.50
lastIevening, and almost instantly killed.
The engine which was in charge OF
Engineer Charles Waterman and Fire
man Charles Dresser, hadscome in with
freight train No. Is and was just return
ing fromsthe coal sheds through the yard
to the engine house. 1t. was running
backwards. No one SAW the accident, but
almost as soon as the engine passed MIR.
Kicker was noticed on the track. lie
was alive, but not conscious when
reached, and lived but short time. The
body was taken in charge by 5. >. h1cn
IL Son, and removed to their undertaking
rooms on Exchange street. Mr.. A. j..
Rich at once notified the son OF the I'M
fortunate man, and Coroner Eben N. Per
~ was called. Coroner Perry saw County
Attorney Libby, and was directed by him
to hold an inquest. Coroner Perry will
select his jury today and the inquest will
be held Tuesday at the office of Mr.. Libby
in the City building.
1t is supposed, for as far as has been
said, no one saw the accident, that Mr.
Kicker, who was stranger here, and a
man advanced in years, was somewhat
confused, and hearing the engine, was
mistaken in regard to the track it was
on, and in his confusion, stepped directly
in front of the wheels. He was not no.
uiced by the engineer. Coroner Perry
will try to get some more definite infor-
nation if possible, but hardly expected
to be able to succeed when seen last eve
ming. He was then inclined to believe
in the theory above stated.
The body was badly mangled, the ma
ture of the injuries showing that Mr..
Kicker suocumbed almost instantly to
the great loss of blood. He could not have
been conscious after he was struck. 1t
was supposed that he was walking to-
wards the station, for the bruises show
that he was struck in the back and
knocked to the ground.
He was well-known citizen OF his
town, and has been visiting his son for
two weeks. He was about " years of
age.
The accident occurred near Thomas
Towle's junk store at the foot of Pearl
street.
The remains will be taken to the home
OF the deceased in WATERFORD for inter-
ment tonight on the 5.35 train.
Besides the son in this city the man
had daughter in South WATERFORD who
kept house for him, his wife being dead.
and q son in Boston. He also had a
brother, DR.. A. Fl. Kicker in South Wat
erboro.
Ricker's legs were both broken and
nearly severed just below the hips. His
body was not injured in any other way
except for few scratches.
