HORSES WERE STARVING.

The worst case of cruelty that has
vet come under the notice OF the
Burlington Humane society was re-
ported last week to Agent John
Fuller. He learned that a pair of
horses in the north part of the city
had been shockingly neglected for
some time past and upon invcst,ga-
ton he found that the animals, sui
ferlnSs were not due to sickness but
10 starvation.
1t appears that the horses had had
nothing to eat but damaged straw
since autumn and for three weeks
past one of the horses had lain in
the barn so exhausted as to be I'm.
able to raise itself. This horse was
left unhitched and wandered about
the barn until it dropped exhausted.
80 great was its hunger that it had
eaten away large portion OF the
side and front of its stall. 1t has
beer heard floundering on the floor
tor the past three weeks but people
residing in that section were not
aware of the sufferings of either
horse until the shocking revelations
were made by the investigation.
