STOWE PEOPLE PROTEST.
Claim Agent Fuller WINS Hasty in
killing Poor Mans Horse.

The Free Press has received u COM
muncation from a resident of Stowe
which claims that Humane Agent Fuller
in his recent visit to that town was
hastv in his actions regarding the treat
mont of what he supposed was cruelty
to animals. The story of Mr.. Fuller's
trip appeared in the Free Press under
the heading Of Twisted OK Tails" and
is no such cruelty to animals in that
town as Mr.. Fuller reported.
In regard to the humane killing bv
Mr.. Fuller Of a horse in a starving con-
dition, tho correspondent claims that the
act was unnecessary and that the resi-
dents OF stowe have shown their disap-
prevail of it by circulating a paper to
collect funds with which to purchase an
other horse for the owner OF the starved
ono in question.
In an interview with n Free
Press reporter, prominent resident
of stowe bore out all the claims
of the correspondent. He said that
cruelty to animals is not evident in
stowe any more than in any other
place. In regard To the oxen with the
twisted tails. nc spoke from close ac-
ulHintancc with tho case and said that
tho tails werc broken but that their
driver had never been known to use any
unnecessary roughncsa with his animals.
Tho oxen were owned originally by Nc
Mnhon & CO.. and were sold to a man
who now uses them in work for that
firm ono of the oxen claimed to have
been driven blind with work, has been
blind for many years.
1t was his opinion that Mr. Fuller was
a little haStY in his work, especially in
the case Of tho killing of the poor mans
horse, whose family are now suffering
because of that act. And he said that
this were also the sentiments of the ma
iuritN Of the people of stowe.
