Mr.. Editor:
In your last issue of the MONITOR noted
an item regarding a young man whose
horse, being turned into farmers past ure,
was hooked SO that it died from the inju-
ries. Now as a reader of your paper /
would like to ask few questions and leave
it to the public to answer them. This same
farmer has a COW that is vicious and will
hook anything put into the pasture with
her; she has already killed one other horse
besides manning two or three others. Now
the young man asked the farmers son if
the horse would be all right if turned into
the pasture and received the reply that it
would. After returning from fishing the
young man found that his horse had been
killed by the farmers cow. Now who is
responsible for the horse, the young man,
the farmer, or the owner, or furthermore,
the farmers son? If you will kindly an
swer these questions in the next issue of |
your paper you will greatly oblige.
