CALVES FOUND TIGHTLY BOUND
 IN BOTTOM OF WAGON
Fragrant Violation of the Law Discov- cred on Franklin Street and Two Men Arrested for Cruelty.

Cruelty to animals as practised on two young calves was laid bare by the vigilance of the Norwich police on Franklin square on Tuesday afternoon about four o'clock. Officers Charles Smith and Myron Morgan saw an old wagon coming along Main street and in the bottom tightly bound. were two calves. They stopped the team, in- vestigated, and then took the men and the outfit straightway up to police
 headquarters. There the men proved
 to be William Fox. p years old, and
 Tony Kornitsk, in the employ of Frank Hertz, the North Thames street
 butcher and cattle dealer.
 They had been out to Preston City, the men said, and there had secured
 two cows and two calves. The former
 were led by halters without inconven-
 fence, but to keep the calves from
 kicking and struggling they were
 bound and thrown in the bottom of the
 old wagon. which was a rickety af-
 fair and almost ready to tumble to
 pieces apparently. One calfs hind
 legs were tightly bound by piece of
 cord which was so tightly bound
 around the upper part of its legs that
 1t was beginning to cut into the skin.
 Its head was under the seat of the
 wagon. The other calf, in the front of
 the team was in even worse condition.
 Its head was tightly bound down to
 it's shoulder by a piece of rope and
 the rope was continued around the animals legs so that the calf seemed unable to move anything but it's eyes.
 The calf had evidently struggled at first to free itself from it's cruel bonds but the strain of three or four hours in ha oxra bto condition Saprnad to have almost completely exhausted it. After their examination at police station, kornitski was sent along with Saficers Smith and Morgan to take the animals over to the Hertz barn. while Fox was placed in a cell Policeman Morgan took charge of the team and | the calves, while Officer Smith fol- 1 lowed on behind with the cows. A ] big crowd looked on as the cavalcade started off. As soon as the barn was l reached the officers cut the ropes that | tied the calves and both of the little 1 animals seemed grateful for their re- 1 lease from captivity, but were plainly | in bad shape. One of the cows had | stripes on it's back where it had evil 1 dently been beaten. The man Kornit- l ski was brought back to the police | station and also locked up. Both pris- oners are solid looking fellows, who l seemed to possess the necessary Qual- | ifications of butchers, and their unnec.
 essarily cruel handling of the calve:
 was apparently little concern to them | It is doubtless a matter which is toC 1 common with this class of men, but thu ! fragrant violation of the law regard ing the tying of calves was this tint | carried on too openly. The use O crates is the proper method of hand ling them, but bags are often used t'
 keep within the letter of the law.

This week proceedings looking toward the acquisition of the land of Frank J. Alexander. south of Benham avenue. New London, for the purposes of a site for the Connecticut college for women have been resumed through the rendering of a second offer for the property.

 Should MT. Alexander and his at torneys decide to accept the offer of the trustees. it is probable that build ing operations will begin immediately following the acceptance.
