9 HORSES DIE
OF POISONING
August Krosqsr Loses VAL
uabls fnimals--Mrstery
Surrounds Sudden Death.
LOST DOG RECENTLY
May bo the Work of an
Enemy, Although He Knows
of None.

Two of August Kroeger's valuable
horses met death in a mysterious
manner Saturday. Mr.. Kroeger,
who conducts butcher shop at 2S5
Smith street, is at a loss to know
how the horses came to their untime-
ly end. OF late several dogs of value
have been poisoned and this recent
act seems to indicate that Mr..
Kroeger has enemies. One of Mr..
Kroeger's employees early Saturday
morning went to the barn and saw
the horses in intense agony.
AS soon as Mr.. Kroeger was noti-
fed of the conditions, he dressed and
hurried to the barn. Upon examina-
ton he decided that the horses were
suffering from collie and gave them
medicine for that ailment. An hour
afterward he again visited the place
and found that one of the animals
was paralyzed. Mr.. Kroeger then
sent for one who Is familiar with the
care of horses and at once decided
that the horses were not suffering
from collie but that poison had been
given. Several hours afterwards
both animals died in frightful
agony. The reason for thinking pol
son was administered was the lack
of swelling always caused when
horses suffer from collie.
Mr.. Kroeger has his barn In the
rear of his shop. Some time during
the night Mrs. Kroeger was awak-
ened by noise of some one trying to
enter the barn, but she made no ef-
forts to ascertain who the intruder
might be. Large old-fashioned locks
are the means Of securing the doors
of the barn. Mrs. Kroeger says that
she head some one medling with
them on the same morning that the
horses were poisoned.
Not many months ago many valu-
able dogs in this neighborhood we're
poisoned. Two Great Danes and
st. Bernard belonging to Mr.. Kroe-
ger were also poisoned. He is at a
loss to understand If the horses were
poisoned, who could have done 1t, as
he says he has not an enemy in his
district.
The horses food has been col
lected by Mr.. Kroeger, who will have
1t sent away to ascertain II poison
was mixed with 1t. The animals
were valued at 5000 each.
