FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Litchfield Man Visited by an Agent Of

Gardiner, Me, Jan. 1S-Isaac H.
Maine State Society for the Protection
OF Animals, paid visit with witnesses,
Thursday, to the farm of Aaron Pea
cock, situated in Litchfield, where he
found seven head of cattle and two
horses which were not receiving proper
attention as the law requires. The ami
mails were kept in a barn that was
open on all sides, where there was no
floor, and where they were forced to
lie down in water and filth. Every
thing showed that the stock had re-
ceived no attention during the cold
weather.
Mr.. Purington ordered Peacock to
fix up his barn and give protection to
the animals. He again visited the
place, today, with a warrant and found
that no attention had been given his
previous orders, and took the animals
and boarded them in a neighbours barn
until the matter was settled in the
courts.
Mr.. Peacock was arrested and
brought before Judge Larrabee of the
municipal court and given hearing,
this afternoon. The judge, after lis
tening to the testimony given by a
number OF witnesses, concluded to hold
Mr. Peacock on the complaint made
and fined him $40 and costs, amount
ing to 1927. Peacock appealed the
case and furnished security for his
appearance at the April term of the
superior court.

GONZALES WILL LIVE.
Reports ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Do Not
Fear Peritonitis.

Columbia. S. G.. Ian. 1S.-There have
been more encouraging symptoms in
the condition of Editor Gonzales, today
than have appeared at any time since
his wounding by Lieut.. Gov. Tillman.
last Thursday, yet it is impossible to
give any promise as to the ultimate re-
suit of his case. The physicians say
simply that he is holding his own and
that he probably has pasted the period
of danger from peritonitis
The wounds in the intestines, today,
have shown an Improvement. The OBJ
|struction has been relieved and the
Wounds themselves have progressed
favorably in healing. The wound in
the liver is not source of immediate
danger but serious developments may
occur within the next few days. One
of the physicians said, today, that if
Mr.. Gonzales lived until Tuesday with
out upfavorable developments he would
have an even chance of recovery. This
evening there was a return of nausea
and more restlessness than the physi-
clans wished to see and they are watch
ing with considerable anxiety for re-
lief from these disturbances. In the
churches of Columbia, today there
have been offered earnest prayers for
the life of the stricken editor.
There have been no developments in
the deplorable affair today beyond the
fluctuations in the wounded mans con-
dition except for ar unwarranted and
untrue newspaper report that one of
the Gonzales family connection had ex-
pressed desire to get a chance at Till
man, there has been no recurrence Of
the talk of violence toward the lieuten-
ant governor. There has been no ex-
preston from any of the Gonzales
family that could be interpreted as a
threat against Tillman and there never
has been any indication of mob spirit.
