tilt with the humane law Monday

crippled mule team. One of the
mules had a broken fore leg and the
other broken ankle on the fore
foot. Neither of the animals could
walk without being in misery and
as they were hopping through the
street their pitiable condition at
tracted attention. County Attor-
ney Griffin and Sheriff Haun inter-
viewed the man and his condition
also had a side worthy of sympa-
thy. He said that he had a large
family to support and that he need
ed a team to earn a living. IF he
was deprived of his crippled mules
he and his family would have to
find shelter at the poor farm. Fi-
nally it was agreed that he should
surrender the mules, that q popular
subscription should Be raised to buy
him q team and the mules were
ordered chloroformed to death
