Abuse of the Horse

The Humane Society should es-
tablish a hospital In this city for
decrepit and half starved horses.
a large number of these noble AMI
mails are seen driven over the
streets here daily, that are so badly
crippled and poorly fed they can
scarcely hobble along. The cruel
and hard hearted drivers ply the
whip In a most unmerciful manner
and force the helpeless'brutes along
regardless of their pitiable condi.
ton. Why the proper authorities
do not put stop to the abuse and
neglect of the horse is question
we would like to have answered.
TIE law In this State IS very
strict with reference to the abuse Of
dumb animals, and there are Off
GERS established In almost every city
and town throughout the State
whose sworn duty 1t Is to protect
the horse and other animals from
abuse by heartless people. But
like numerous other laws that are
shamefully ignored by officers, the
one governing the treatment of
certain animals goes unheeded.
We fall Ito have had single IN
stance come to our notice where
the Humane officer of this city has
done a single act for the helpless
ard prosecuted and noblest of all
ar;uals-the horse.
