TOO FRIENDLY
TO YANKEES

BERLIN, July IA large number
of German papers, 800 In all, have
printed protests against the favors
shown to the Vanderbilts, Goelets and
other American millionaires during
the Kiel regatta.
The report that the Vanderbilts are
proceeding north on their steam
yacht in company with the Hohen-
zollern, on which the kaiser will make
his trip to Scandinavia, is sure to
cause fresh outburst along this
line.
The Morgen Post contrasts in
fierce terms the kaiser's neglect in
not receiving the deputation of Ger
man Southwest African colonists
with this favoritism towards the
Americans. The paper says: IF
the kaiser has time to concern him
self with the American money bags,
he ought to have found time to de-
vote to the misfortunes of the Ger
mans in Africa"
The article is so bitter that it is
expected lese majestic proceedings
against the paper will result.

BEAT BALKY
HORSE

H. Draper, an officer Of the Humane
society, has a story Of cruelty which
is a little out Of the ordinary. Draper
reports that he was called to a log
ging camp about five miles from Col
bert yesterday to look into a charge
of cruelty to animals. AS result
he arrested Ardie Wood and brought
him before Justice Hinkle yesterday
afternoon. Wood pleaded guilty and
was fned SIS and costs.
According to tn estory told by
Draper, Wood owned a balky horse.
He tried to malse the horse work, but
could not do 1t. He then attempted
to drag the animal. He fastened a
chain about the horses neck and
took a double half hitch with rope
on the animals ear. The horse was
dragged some distance but still balked.
Woods next move was to tie the
horse up to tree and beat 1t un-
meroifully. When the officers arrived
they found the animal in pitiful
condition. His ear was torn and he
was badly marked with blows besides
being half starved. =
