CRUELTY THAT DESERVES SEVERE
PUNISHMENT.

There comes from the southern part of
the state tale Of cruelty which leads the
reader to wonder If we have been taken
back to the days Of barbarlsm when hui
man beings delighted to torture and MAIN
living beings, whether humans or beasts
and the reader also gives expression to
the feryent hope that If there is any hui
manity left the perpetrators Of the coward
" deed may suffer for their act. The
story comes from Wilmington located in
the southwestern part Of Windham coun-
BY, and not far from Brattlebolo. It re-
lates to the killing Of horse last week,
the property Of well known citizen Of
Wilmington. The method Of killing dis
played mind Of utter depravitY. Two
large posts used for fences, each nearly
three inches indiameter, were thrust into
the side OF the poor beast to a distance Of,
SO the report says, "almost three feet Z
Then the towards drew out the bloody
stakes and set them up against a fence,
while the animal walked away short
distance and died. The owner found the
poor beast the next morning. On the
ground short distance away were the
bloody evidences of the 6endishness
which inspired human beings to be so
cruel.

Valley Times Of Wilmington they would
not be believed but would be set down as

Wilmington contemporary presents them
as facts. The act can be accounted fol
only because the perpetrators wished t.
square some account with thesowner Of the
animal or because they were induced to Il
by an insane desire for killing In either
event the persons responsible were Of such
deprayed natures that question Of hu
mainly could not appeal TO them. They
were beyond such feelings, II the motive
