NJ. Sosna Loses Second Animal In L. IS
Than a Week.
NJ. Sosna, the scrap iron dealer,
has lost another horse and some one
is due to pay for it, If not in cash, at
least in a forfeiture of his liberty.
Last evening, after giving the ami
NAL in question it's evening meal in
the stable at his home on Twelfth
street, Mr.. Sosna returned in about 10
minutes and found the beast Keeling
in it's stall. A short time later it fell
over and expired.
DIR. Miller, the veterinarian, was
summoned and pronounced the symp-
toms Indicative of poisoning Today
the remains were taken To the bone
va, d, and an examination there made
confirmed the doctors suspicious.
The police think they have not very
far to 60 to put their hands on the
guilty party, and are at work collect
ing evidence which will probably lead
to his arrest shortly.
Mr.. Sosna, it will be recalled, lost
horse early in the week, the animal
falling over the embankment near the
Peoria depot and breaking it's back
on the ROCKS. The fact that the ami
NAL was blind and that it had TO per-
form various difficult evolutions in
order 20 get ont of the stable has con-
WINGED tie owDer that some one was
instrumental in getting 1t out upon
the street and he will try to fix the
guilt upon the party suspected of adj
ministering the poison.
