CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Humane officers Report Two Bad
cases-Sharp Watch Kept.

Humane Officers Blaisdell and Willis
have been busy this week. looking toto
cases of alleged cruelty to- animals
Thursday the officers had a call to Co
burn corner. and on investigating
found one Of the most cruel cases that
has come under their observation for
some time.
A horse belonging to Napoleon Cook
son and which had been living in
ditch one night before the officers g1I
there, was found after much seourins
around in the woods By the officer
living on his back in strip of timber
utterly helpless The officers stated
that he was the poorest lamest and
the worst crippled morse they ever saw.
The officers procured double horse
team and started for this city with the
animal. but when they were within 4
mile Of here the horse fell from the
cart near Mr.. Wright's on the River
road The animal was taken out in
some pasture near there and shot b.
Officer Blaisdell.
The officers recently had a call Il
North street, Farmingdale on ease
and there also they found a poor, used
up horse, which they seized. They de-
clined to give the mans name.
Both the above mentioned parties
signed the papers withdrawing all
claim ON the animals and the officer
decided not prosecute the men a.
present. al least.
The officers state that many cases
similar TO the two mentioned, are com
ing under their observation and prob
ably il would be just as well for the
owners of horses which are of no use
TO them or any one else to put them
out of the way.
