CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Jorgen Fredson is Arrested and Fined
For Leaving Horses in the Cold

Jorgen Fredson is Arrested and Fined
For Leaving Horses in the Cold
Jorgen Fredson meat dealer was
arrested by Chief of Police Reino1d
Thursday on charge of cruelty to
animals. It is charged that Fredson
left his horse out in the bitter cold
for four hours without blankets.
When the chief discovered the animal
it was hitched in front of the Biiou
theatre on Wisconsin ST. and was suf-
fering from cold and exposure. He i'm
mediate1y went in search of the owner
and took him before Justice McCarron
who heard the evidence and promptly
fined Fredson dollar and costs.
This is one of the cases that empha-
sizes the need of Humane Society in
Kenosha and there are enough cases
along Main street almost any cold day
to keep an officer of the society busy.
The police do what they can in ex-
IRENE cases but they have their regu-
lar duties to attend to and they have
very little time for anything else.

The freight situation on all the Wis

than at any time last year, but with
fair weather there is promise Of re-

Either the city will have to length

for a switching crew to place cars un-

HIS REVERENCE.

through this country with small party
of friends. At farmhouse the owner
invited the party in to supper. The
good housewife, while preparing the
table, discovering that she was enter
tanning nobility, was overcome with
surprise and eiation. All seated at
the table, scarcely a moments peace
did she grant her distinguished guest
in her endeavor to serve and please
him. =. 1t was My lord, will you have

turning to his mother, said: "Say, ma,

CHAPTER XVI,

The necessity of earning bread forced
me to seek labor. My money was all
spent, and a day arrived when I was
penniiess. The ring and the cord were
still in my possession. / do not know
how it was that I was tempted to
keep the1n about me; perhaps it was
as a punishment which I obstinately
inflicted upon myself-as though my
sufferings were not great enough with
out these evidences Of my guilt; but
the fact remains that found 1t i'm
possible to part with them. When l
was penniless could have twisted the
diamond out of the ring and sold the
gold for q few shillings, which really
would have enabled me to live without
labor for some considerable time; for
during all this dolorous time I ate
nothing but dry bread, and drank moth
ing but water. l did not, however, put
it to this use. 1t did not belong to
me; it belonged to the dead.
The labor l obtained was Of the low
est and most menial kind, and thus
it was that, being far away north, l
found myself working in the hop gar
dens. The pay was bad, but that
mattered not; it suficed for bread.
