WHIPPING BALKY MULES
NOT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

jamestown, N. Y, August II. - At
a jury trial held this week in the mu'
nicipal police court OF this city 1t was
apparently decided that the laws
which have been framed for the pre-
vention OF cruelty to animals do not
apply to the mule.
Expert testimony furnished by vet
Urinary surgeons, horsemen OF stand
ing in the community and teamsters
long familiar with the physical and
temperamental qualities OF the mule
and the horse proved to the satisfac'
ton OF the jury that treatment which
II applied to horse might justly be
termed brutal was merely diverting to
the mule. The trial, which resulted
in the acQuittal OF the defendant,
brought forth certain medico,legal
facts which probably have never
been debated before.
Some time ago James Bailey, u
.teamster In the employ of Col. Endress
a wholesale coal dealer of this city,
was arrested on a charge OF cruelty
beating one OF pair OF mules because
1t refused to pull its share OF load OF
coal up steep grade, Five women
testified that the defendant "cruelly
and wantonly beat the mule with a
club six feet long and four inches
thick"
At the trial A. Frank jerks. attor'
ney for the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals, proved that the
load of coal which the mule refused
TO tackle weighed 1900 pounds. This
weight, the attorney asserted, was too
great for one pair of mules to haul M
hill and ii for no other reason the jury
should return a verdict OF guilty.
To Offset this testimony the defence
called to the stand the Oldest and
most experienced teamsters In the
city. Each OF these witnesses swore
that, whereas II might be cruel to at
tempt to compel a team OF horses
weighing 1880 pounds TO haul load
OF a ton and half under the condi
Itions described man would be per,
factly justified in asking two 750-pound
