OMAHA, Neb., July 26.-Do you
give your horse any of the rights
of a human being? Do you give

should have because of his toll.
Judge Alex. c. Troup, Judge Of
the district court here, has Just
handed down an opinion that the
horse has an abstract right at law
to compensation besides food and
drink.
This unusual opinion was ex-
pressed in sentencing A. L. Van
Gordon, a veterinary surgeon, who
was fined for practicing without a
license.

ton in the eyes of the law the came

sides, entitled to it because of his

HER FREEDOM

The man and the woman sat OPP

were a pair unusually good to look
upon. but the woman's face was
flushed and her brows were drawn
together in a frown, while the

GAMBLING IS
NEARING END
Solicitor Loftin Believes the
Convictions Will Put a
Stop the Practice.

That gambling has about been
eradicated in Pensacola is the belief
of County Solicitor Loftin, and he at
tributes it to the manner in which
the officers have gone about their
duties. the convictions in the Grim
fnal Court by juries and the sentences
imposed by the court.
At the conclusion of the Ward and
Suarez trial yesterday afternoon the
solicitor stated that it was his be-
lief that this case would be among
the last that he would be called upon
to prosecute in the Criminal Court
for many years. for the reason that
the manner In which juries were re-
turning verdicts of guilty where the
evidence was sufficient, will serve. as
a warming to any of those who might
desire to open a gambling house in
Pensacola. He paid a compliment to
the officers of the county by stating
that they were doing their duty in
.arresting law-breakers and that Ju-
ries are convicting where the evil
dence is sufficient
