NO WORK FOR STOCK; NO FOOD.

This Motto of Algonquin Farmer
Costs Him 5000 aud Costs.
What Is the use of feeding stock
when you have no work for them to
do?" That was the answer given by
Patrick Cannon, farmer living near
Algonquin. when Justice Arnold, Of
Woodstock. asked him why he had
not fed two horses and two cows that
State humane. officers found to be
mere skeletons. Cannon admitted that
he had no use for the stock after he
began working by the day two years
ago. When humane officers went to
Gannon's place to investigate com.
plants Of neighbors that the horses
and cows were starving. they were
driven away with revolvers by Gan.
non and his brother. John. The next
day they took the sheriff with them
and the brothers were arrested. Pat.
rick was fined 5000 and costs and
John was freed.

strange that with the treatment he
has received he could complain in
the manner be does regarding both
jailor and sheriff.
When owen thought that he was to
hang on Friday. the 9th. he stated
that he had a great deal to say. and
he was going to say what he
thought" regardless OF whose feelings
he might hurt, for he wanted the
whole community to- know just how
he felt about the whole trial and the
poor manner in which he had been
handled. all because he had no money
to fight mis- case.
In getting around from his cell to
the bars In front, Owen uses the
sides Of the wall for support. and
claims that he will be unable TO
go to the gallows and II he Is TO be
hung the officers will have to- hold
him up while the trap is sprung.
Owen Is dissatisfied over being
below. but at the time he was re
moved the place below was too
crowded and he kept up such a dis.

the day, that the other prisoners
could get no rest and naturally mduv
