 Buck Kills Horse.
 A recent deer performance in War ren, has served to reveal a defect in the law which will require legislative treatment. A big buck, that has been particularly bold and aggressive on the mountain in the neighborhood of David Strong's farm, got into Mir. Strong's pasture and for some reason viciously attacked one of his horses, antlers of the deer that Veterinary Surgeon Osborn, of Cornwall Bridge, pronounced it's injuries probably fa- tai. MT. Strong made application to County Game Warden Ross of Canaan for compensation for the loss of the horse. Warden Ross brought the mat ter to the attention of Secretary Geer, of the State Fish and Game Conlmis- sion. and the peculiar situation pre- sented itself. that while the State provides for the reimbursement of farmers and others for damage done by deer to crops, vegetables or fruit trees, it makes no provision for dam age- done by deer to domestic anil nals. It also appears that under the law 9 man who kills a deer. may be fined s1Oc but if his dog kills a deer no action against it's owner will stand.

COWS IN APPLE ORCHARD
 ACQUIRED A JAG Os CIDER

Waterbury, Nov. 17--Milk Inspector P. T. Keeley, ran across a case of bo- vine inebriation Tuesday afternoon, which goes to show that the path of the dairymen is not always strewn with roses. In one of the large dairies of Woodbury, where a herd of upwards of forty cows are kept, one pleasant Indian summer day the sober and hith- erto industrious kline went on a tear. made a raid on the farm orchard and fed up on cider apples until they had laid the foundations of a substantial jag. Ten of them were so full they fell in the orchard and the rest when dis covered by the farmer, were in the wOeful state familiar in the cold gray dawn of the morning after.
 All of the COW drunks were taken to the barn and given the most ap- proved and up-to-date Keeley cure but they were in a parious state and since that time have been out of the running as far as supplying milk to the eager consumer Is concerned.
 COWS REFUSE TO GIVE MILK
 The unladylike cows have learned now by experience that the innocent looking apple has in it all of the in gradients of a hard cider jag, than which there is no more wicked one in the repertoire of the hardened inebri- ate.
 According to the milk inspector such cases of falling from grace are not un- usual and too many trusting COW has strayed confidingly into an orchard, when the tempting apple beckoned, to be brought out later, feet up, worth about the price of an uncured hide. Nowadays the up-to-date farmer either surrounds the orchard with barb wire or else tiesup the cows during the apple picking season.

HEARING IN THE
KANSAS MURDER CASE

Arkansas City. Kan, May 11.--Few
cases in the criminal history of this
locality have ever aroused so much
general interest in this county as
the case Of Louis w. Potterton and
Mrs. Emma A. Allen, his foster moth
er whose preliminary hearing on the
charge of having poisoned Mrs. Fran
ces Potterton, the wife of the de-
PENDANT Potterton, has been set for
today before Justice G. H. Mcintyre.
In June of last year Louis w. Pot
terton. an engineer on the Sante Fe
railroad, married Miss Frances MINI
NELL, an orphan who owned real es-
tate valued at more than $40, 900
and whose life was insured for S5,-
Co., at Wichita, Kan. Mrs. Potter
man died at noon on January | Of
this year. after short illness, which
puzzled the doctors After consider
able hesitation the two attending
physicians signed statement that
Mrs. Policeman had died of "Adi-
sons Disease" The authorities were
not satisfied with this statement and
an investigation by the coroner was
ordered. An autopsy was made and
the physicians, although the found
suspicious indications declared them
selves unable to say whether death
had been caused by poison or not.
Thereupon the authorities decided
to send the stomach and other Wis
cera of Mrs. Potterton to the state
chemist for analysis. In due time
report was received stating that the
organs contained more than fourteen
grains of arsenic and upon this find
ing the doctors decided that the
death Of Mrs. Potterton had been
caused by poison. After a brief in
vestigation Potterton. the husband,
and his foster mother. who has been
keeping house for him, were indict-
ed for the murder of Mrs. Potter
ton and the preliminary hearing was
set for today. County Attorney E..
]. Fleming and his deputy, c. S.
Beekman will represent the prosecu-
ton. while the defense will be in the
hands of Faulconer & Cunningham
and L. G. Brown. The theory of the
prosecution is that Potterton and his
foster mother committed the crime
to obtain possession OF the valuable
real estate and personal property Of
their victim. The insurance COM
pany has refused to pay the insrr-
anee on Mrs. Potterton's life to the
estate.
