Last Friday morning, upon going
to the barn to do the chores, Charley
Ehrdahl found his driving horse in
its stall dead. The horse had been
driven the evening previous, and as
at that time the animal showed no
signs of being sick, Charley was
mystified as to the cause of its death
but thinking that perhaps he had
overfed, gave the matter no further
attention. Sunday morning, however,
Ed. Fegert's valuable black horse
went into the stall where the dead
horse had been, and after eating a few
mouthfuls Of the ground feed from
the feed box, became sick, and fifteen
minutes later was dead. This lead
f4o an investigation of the cause, and
the balance of ground feed in the box
| Was taken 10 the drug store ana ana
lyZed hen it was discovered that il
contained a quantity Of strichnine.
Charley says he is at loss to know
what motive the poisoner could have
as he has no enemies that he knows
of who would commit such an act
He had been offered $4,000 for his
horse and had agreed to sell him
to Mr.. Olson of Dexter for that a..
mount next month. Mr.. Fegert's
horse was valued at $175.00 II was
a cowardly act and it is to be hoped
that the guilty one will be apprehend-
ed and brot to justice. ~ Miss May
