RUSSIAN FINED FOR CRUELTY
officer of Cars Army Pays $to for
Following Native Custom and CUT
tina Bone From Horse

Attired in the uniforms of officers of
the Russian army, Lieutenant Gabrill
Dochidoff and Count Michael M. Bor-
zlmoff appeared in Judge Roses court
yesterday morning. Dochidoff was ar
raigned on a charge of cruelty to ami
mails and was fined $40. The Russian
count accompanied the lieutenant to
the police court out of curiosity.
Dochdoff was arrested Tuesday af-
ternoon by Officer thinner. The latter
found Dochidoff cutting bone from
the nose of a horse which he had
strapped to the floor of the Nevada
stables on South Broadway. In his de-
fense Dochidoff claimed he was fol-
lowing out custom practced in Rus
sia, which, it is claimed, makes breath
ing easier for the horses. According
to officer thinner, it was a case of
cruelty which should have been pun
ished by fine of not less than 500.
Dochidoff and Borzimoff were re-
Gently attached to the Russian army
and stationed at the grand dukes pal
ace in Caucasia. Both of the soldiers
left their native country and came to
this city on account of the political
strife in Russia.
