Route to Rankin.
Jacksonville poisoning OF dumb
animals seems to be fad with some
people in Jackson. For the last six
months an unknown person has been
feeding poison to dogs. Now some
one has taken to poisoning horses.
John Judici, who lives in the western
suburbs of the city and operates a
dairy, reports to the police that he has
lost two horses in two days from the
effects Of poison administered by some
person unknown to him. The horses
were taken suddenly sick and died
within few hours. A veterinary sur
geon who was called in made an ex-
animation and stated that the horses
had died of poison administered, it is
supposed, in oats. Mr.. Judici stated
to the police that some people in the
had obj ected to the
location of his stable, but he does not
suspect anyone, but thinks that may
be this had something to do with the
poisoning. The police are making
every effort to find the guilty party.
