That human being should stoop so
low as to take revenge on an inno-
cent driving horse seems beyond COM
prehension. Yet this is Just what hap
pened in Cass township recently. An
unknown party gained entrance to a
buggy shed on the premises of Super
visor ]. K. Hale and ruined a new
buggy by cutting the cushion and top
to pieces. Not being satisfied with
the damage done to the vehicle, the
wretch entered the stable where stood
the beautiful driving horse. Taking a
quantity of deadly acids he poured the
fluid over the horse, literally scalding
its neck, shoulders and back In the
morning, when William F'olkers en-
tered the stable. he found his driver
trembling with pain. A veterinary
surgeon was summoned. who said the
animal was in very critical condition,
ad also managed to gather up enough
of the acid to send to the state chem
list for ANALYSIS. It is hoped that by
having the poison analysed some clue
may be gained as to who perpetrated
the crime. and where the acid was
purchased. Sheriff Hogan has offered
reward OF $50 for information lead,
ing to the conviction of the guilty
party.
