The Docking of Horses Tails

Whether or not it is cruel, from the
horses point of view. to saw off the bones
OF his tail in the process known as docking
lacked only the testimony OF the horses
themselves ct the hearing today before the
senate committee on codes, on Senator Arm
strongs bill prohibiting the practice. re-
quiring the registration of all locked horses
now in the state and forbdding also the
bringing of any more locked horses into the
state.
Advocates of the bill insisted that the
practice of docking was cruel and danger
Gus to the nealth of the horses
Opponents insisted that the practice was
harmless and that its abolition by law
would be disastrous to the horse traffic
and would destroy the sport of coaching
1t was said that the value of the locked
horses in New York state amounted to
slo,tooOo0, and 1t was asserted by those
who appeared in opposition to the bill that
the enactment of such law would cut in
half the value, besides injuring the horse
trade and hundreds of persons who are en-
ployed by owners of cosches-and-fours
Long-taiied horses were never used with
coaches, it was asserted and the sport il
was declared would be killed by the pas
sage of the bill.

! says: Reports received here indicate that

5000 square miles of territory in Kiowa and

Hundreds of people are homeless, and it is

| Following is a partial list of the known
killed and injured:

Lawton, burned to crisp; John Hammond
, cannot live; n. N. Crawford, near Lawton,
