BRUTAL ACT OF INHUMAN MEN

One OF the most brutal and inhu-
man acts Of cruelty to dumb animals
that has ever taken place here Oc-
Cured In Pennington last Friday,
the final act of cruelty being the
pulling out of IA spirited horses
tongue. Charley Stewart hired q
team OF Covington Bros. at Bonnie
Terre last Friday and drove over to
Pennington. Here he and Lawson
/ Moore, commonly known as RED"
Moore, proceeded to fill up on whisky
until they were hilariously drunk
and then to enjoy themselves In a
maudlin way riding around. One of
the team was n spirited animal and
becameconfusedanda little umanage-
able by the manner In which the
team'w was handled, and they began
to cruelty beat aud mistreat the ami
mai. A man who saw them told
them If they didn't stop 1t he would
give them taste Of the same treat
ment. They drove away, and at
several places were seen beating the
horses. In the east end OF the town
one of the team baked and refused
to move, when "Red" Moore looped
a rope around its tongue and pulled
off about seven inches of the ton
que. Both men were arrested and
are now in jail.
1t is hard to believe that human
being could be so cruel and brutal
to dumb animals, but there is no
telling what II perverted nature be.
sotted with whiskey may do; and 1t
is hard to say just what sort of
punishment should be meted out
such for brutal act.

dred dollars for furniture and fix
lures for the new club rooms, and
when the lights were turned on the
place presented an attractive appear
ance. Those attending were con-
vinced that the floor, while not yet
ms smooth as mitight be, would soon
make an excellent dancing floor.

enjoyable time was had.

FIRE AT AMUSEMENT.

What might have proved very
serious fire but for the prompt work
of the Fire Company occurred at the
Amusement Theatre last Monday
night about ten O'Clock. The second
show of the night was near It's close,
and Dennis Adler, who had charge
of the operating booth, was adjust
ing the last reel of moving pictures,
when In some way the used reels,
which were lying on the floor Of the
booth, caught fire. They are very
combustible, and in an instant the
booth was filled with flames, Dennis
managed to make his escape with
out injury, and the fire alarm was
turned in. There were few in the
theatre at the time. If the accident
had occurred during the first per-
formance, when the theater was
crowded, there would probably have
been panic aud a number of
persons injured in Il rush to
get out. The fire company was on
the grounds within In ten minutes,
and the flames were soon extin-
guished. Not much damage was
done to the building, but the theatres
loss In moving picture machinery,
ETC., was about $500, with no insur-
ance.
