STARVED ANIMALS ON FARM.
Plenty OF Food On Hand, But Feared
Stock Would Die From Poisoned
Drain

Lancaster Especially. - Israel B..
Beebler and HIS sister, Maria, resi-
dents of West Earl Township. aged
between so and GO years, have been
arrested on the charge of cruelty to
animals, the specific allegation being
that they starved to death horse.
COW, cat and fifty chickens while
they had under lock on their farm
plentiful supply of food for all.
The alleged action of the pair is
the result of a dispute with the
township supervisors, who opened a
drain on the public road along the
Deibler property. The farmer immedi-
ately closed 1t, and after this perform
ance was repeated several times, the
supervisors brought suit and Deibler
was fined $40, which he refused to
pay. Execution was issued against
him and the sheriff will sell his farm
to satisfy the $40 execution.
Deibler said the water turned on
his farm by the drain opened by tbs
supervisors was poisonous to his
stock, and as they would die any way
they might just as we'll perish from
starvation.

sense of the sanctity OF marriage;
secondly. by the prevalence OF di-

The wealth of Cresus, which has

ously accounted for. The possessors
OF Sardis. the capital of the Lydlan
kings, were enriched by the neighbor-
hood of the river Pacto'us, which
flowed down from Mount 'I1molus to-
ward the Hermes, and brought with
1t considerable quantities of gold in its
sands. Ro this cause historians often
ascribe the abundant treasures be-
