1t seems that some of the young
men over about Washington have
peculiar idea of what it takes to con-
stitute equine beauty. Acting on this
idea last Saturday night while the
good brethren were in the meeting
house assembled, these aforesaid young
men proceeded to fix up the tethered
horses to correspond with their beau
ideal, whacking and bobbing off the
hair Of their tails, of some even the
tail itself. The owners of the beasts
were not inclined TO look upon the
matter as a joke but some of them
wsxed wrathy and threatened divers
things. As result of the matter.
warrants have been sworn out against
u. Y. Brown and Frank Bradley on
the charges of disturbing public wor-
ship and as it seems there's plenty of
evidence against them, they will no
doubt feel the heavy arm of law when
brought to trial, and they should;
such rowdy pranks are of frequent oc-
currence in the county and it is time
to call a halt. Good law abiding
citizens should do all they can to help
suppress such lawlessness.
