Residents of Mill street were yerv in
dignant at the manner in which drove
of cattle were sent along that street one
evening last week. In the drove was a
bull with ring in his nose. A rope at
tached to the ring dragged along the
ground and frequently one of the other
cattle would step on the end of the rope,
almost throwing the bull to the ground
and evidently causing the animal much
pain. If.there had been an agent of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals within reach there certainly
would have been an arrest.
