INGS OF DRAUGHT ANIMALS.

Mrs Evelyn w Murray has adopted a new
method Of procedure her efforts to alleviate the
sufferings of horses in hot weather and protect
them from inhuman treatment 1t is simple, in
variaoly ef1cacious and expensive She gives truck
drivers 25 cents and tells them to go and buy ice
cream sodas. Mrs. Murray isn't g7deless enough to
suppose that the drivers spend the quarters for ice
cream sodas They go to saloons. but not ice cream
soda saloons While she depIores the existence of
thirst that calls for beer rather than ice cream
soda, she accepts it inevitable and looks at the
results achieved While the drivers drinking
the horses resting. Mrs Murray has had sew
eral drivers arrested for beating their horses but
has been unable to obtain convictions on account
of lack of evidence.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs Murray had John
Reynolds arrested. She said he cruelty beat
ing his team in front of her home No 800 West
