Universal generosity and

one complaint having been made to
the society from persons outside Of
Denver And they had no complaints
of abuses of child, man or animal In
Denver.
"The storm is the most remarkable
we have ever known because there
have been SO few complaints" said
James Il. Dougherty Of the society.
The generosity and kindness Of the
people was something wonderful, we
think. No children have been abused.
Stock has been well cared for.
Horses caught In the storm in Den
yer we're protected by those nearest
70 them. There was universal spirit
of generosity and kindness.
The only complaints in the city
which we have had were received
when men were reported whipping
horses in order to make them move
but we found that they were not abus-
Ing the animals.
only one complaint was received
outside OF Denver and In that case the
stock concerned was cared for. A man
had turned his stock in upon another's
hay stack and he objected. The stock
was fed and Il was merely matter OF
settlement for the hay used.
There is no suffering Of stock
throughout the state as far as we can
learn. We have had reports from the
northeast, the southeast and the noun
tains. Pueblo reports that food is be
ing distributed TO the stock throughout
