Cruelty Gases
Are Investigated.

DR.. A. Jolly of this city, in the interest
of the society with the long name, went
to West Sidney Friday to investigate two
cases of alleged cruelty to animals. On
the farm of Hannah Woodward a heifer
has been running wild through the fields
since last summer and no great effort
was made to capture the animal. The an
imal had become so wild that it was all
most impossible for anyone to go near it
and consequently hay and feed was left
in certain places for the creature to feed
upon. The case was reported and DR..
Jolly was sent for. He ordered that the
animal be shot and this was done.
The other accusation was against Man
son Getchell of that same section, who
has been keeping a horse in an open sta
BILE. He was ordered to care for the ami
NAL by repairing the barn and securing
it against the weather at the penalty of
losing his horse.
