LEGAL RIGHTS OF HORSES.
Involved In a Sui. to Il. Tried In the


State of Colorado.
From the Denver Evening POST
For the first time in the history of the
state of Colorado. the right OF morse
as being entitled to sufficient food and
proper shelter at his masters expense
is to be tested before the courts, with
the Human Society upholding the
horses side of the case. The facts OF
the case are as follows: During the
extremely cold weather and period OF
deep SHOWS last January. Agent Bailey
received reports that there was band
of horses. thirteen or fourteen in mum
Der, twelve miles up in the mountains
from Wauneta, and that the animals
were showed in and starving to death.
They had been turned out by their
owner to shift for themselves during
the winter With a companion he made
a trip on snowshoes to the place. and
after considerable difficulty found the
animals. They were in the heavy tim
ber. The snow. five or six feet deep on
a level. they had packed down by
tramping about so that they were shut
in by the white walls of snow several
feet high, forming yard" such as the
elk make in the aspen thickets during
the winter. The poor beasts were ter
ribly emaciated and in the last ex-
tremities of starvation. Agent Bailey
and his companion returned to Wau-
meta and went back on snowshoeS as
soon as possible with hay for the all
but famished animals. One or two
died from the cold and privation, in
spite of the efforts of the two men.
II was three weeks before path could
be beaten to the town and the horses
able to travel. They were then taken
to Wauheta, and their owners, known
from the brands on the horses. noti-
fed. Agent Bailey demanded from
each owner pay for the food taken to
the horses and the necessary expense
of removing them from the mountains.
This was refused by the owners, and
the horses were held by the agent. A
suit to replevin was then instituted by
the owners for the recovery of the
horses. This is the case as 1t stands.
and the decision of the court will de-
termine whether or not horse that
has been left by his owner to starve
during the winter may contract
board bill for which the master is
liable. and in large degree fix the re-
lations of owner and owned.
