SPRINGS in HORSES FEET.
Wonderful and Inhumap Contraption
Helps the Animal to Walk.

Wonderful and InhumaD Contraption
Helps the Animal to Walk.
One of the worst cases of cruelty to
animals in tho history of WalIa
Walla was brought to the attention
of the police the other day. says the
Union.
A poor, old horse belonging to j..
d. Graham, who lives on Pleasant
street, was found tied to the hitching
rack on First street. The horse, or
what remained of it, had the appear
ance of having been stabbed and al
lowed to roll about pig pen; in fact
it was covered from head to tail in
black mud. The animal was harness
ed with mere apology of harness.
One feature of the equipment was
an extra strap fastened to the collar
on each side, long enough to reach
down to leather boot which was
fastened about the fore fetlocks. On
the outside of this boot was buckle,
into which was fastened an extra
piece of leather with ring. whereby
spring could be introduced to aid
the animal to lift its feet more readi-
ly.
Another thing which was more
strange than all else, was a very
crude attempt to shoe the animal.
Upon the left fore foot was shoe
of large size, placed in such a manner
that the calks extended straight out
and beyond the foot fully three inches
in the reverse from the usual manner
of placing them. Upon the right
fore foot was a shoe made from a
piece of scrapiron three inches wide
and one inch thick, bent as nearly as
possible to the shape of shoe, with.
out the aid of blacksmith. In some
way holes were made in the finished
product of crude and inhuman be-
ing, and nailed on with ten penny
nails which were turned over on the
outside and allowed to remain.
The shoe extended to the front about
six inches, and to the rear about
three inches. The police later in the
day found the owner of the horse,
and when asked why he allowed the
horse to be treated in that manner,
replied that he had intended to kill
him for his hide after it had passed
its days of usefulness. However, if
he does not soon put the poor old
horse out of his misery he will be ar
rested and punished. How old the
horse is no one can find out, but it il
thought to be one Of the first horses
that came to the city with the o. r.

A RESERVATION SUICIDE.
Martin Everhart Separated From HIS
Wife Takes Strychnine.

Martin Everhart Separated From His
Wife Takes Strychnine.
East Oregonian: Martin Everhart,
white man living ON the reservation,
was found dead in his bed Sunday
morning, aud on Investigation it was
found that he had committed suicide
by taking strychnine. That the decd
was caused by brooding over trouble
with his wife was shown by note
which he left. Mrs. Everhart, who
is half breed woman, applied for
divorce last week and on Saturday
secured an order restraining Everhart
from going upon the premises or other
wise molesting her. This order and a
copy of the divorce complaint was
found in Everhart's pocket.
While going home from town Satur-
day afternoon Everhart met ]. @.
Wright, neighbor, and talked with
him concerning his family troubles.
He told Wright he intended killing
himself and asked him to come over to
his place Sunday morning. In hopes
of preventing Everhart from carrying
out his threat Wright went to the
formers place Saturday evening. On
the door he found a note saying:
walk in" However, he did not
wish to enter, and after knocking and
failing to get response, left.
Sunday morning Wright, in COM
pany with Marion Van Orsdale, went
over to Everhart's house to investi-
gate. On entering they found Ever
hart dead in bed, partly undressed.
A half filled bottle of strychnine
resting on swiudow sill told the story
of his death.
Immediately after finding the body
Sunday morning Wright notified Cor
oner Henderson, and an inquest was
held Sunday afternoon. The verdict
was that the deceased had died by his
own hand from dose of strychnine.
The coroner's jury consisted of S. D.
Traut, Marion, Jack. John Sticker,
John Richie, Grant Ehrhart and John
Backman.
Everbart was As years of age and
came here from the Willamette valley
last year. He was married last Au-
gust to his wife, who is an allottee of
the reservation. Her name was Will
son, and she is said to have been mar.
ried six or seven timesl before wedding
Everhart.
Evidently their welded life was not
one of bliss, for in her divorce suit,
which was filed few days ago by
Winter & Collier, she alleged he had
been cruel and inhuman toward her,
threatening her life and otherwise
making life burden.
The following note was left by Ever
hart:

A LARGE MANHOLE
Being Built for the COnduits in
Smith Street. ma.u.tl

One of the largest man holes in
this city is now being built in Smith
street, between Madison avenue and
Hobart street. l,itn
The mar hole is about fourteen
feet deep and almost ten feet wide at
the top. 1t has a steel cover, con
tanning two openings.
Bricklayers were at work there
Saturday, and Superintendent Foley
had a gang at work all day yesterday
so that the hole could be finished as
soon as possible.
The reason such a large man hole
is being built is that a new telephone
building is soon to be erected on the
opposite side of Smith street, next to
the Raritan Motor garage, making it
necessary for the large underground
station.
1t is now about completed, and in
a few days the rest of the conduits
will be laid, at which time the paw
ing can again be resumed.
