ANIMAL OWNERS
 TO BE ARRESTED
 CRUELTY CHARGE

Due to the heartlessness or the thoughtlessness of several owners of horses and mules that have been turned loose to shift for themselves during this hot weather, attention has i been brought to the sufferings endur- ed by these animals from mosquitoes and flies, which at times drive them nearly frantic with their bites and stings.
 At Graehl there are number of animals which have been placed out to pasture there which are without ample shelter to protect themselves from the vicious attacks of the pests, and at times their agony is such that they scream with the pain. In sev- eral instances it has been noticed that these animals have been going without food in their efforts to rid themselves of their tormentors, being unable to graZe on account of fighting the pests. Some of them are literally covered with blood from the bites of the in- sects.
 The neglecting of the animals is entirely uncalled for at this time of the year, when man with his ingenui- ty can hardly combat the attacks of the insects. and some provision should be made for the protection of dumb beasts who are unable to protect themselves.
 J. T. Mcdonald and R. NJ. Brown have taken the matter in hand and a warning is issued to those having animals at large to take them up and provide for them in some manner or warrant will be requested for the owners arrest on the charge of cruel ty to animals. Those who are at fault will be given until o'clock this even- ing to have their stock under shel- ter or else an arrest will follow.
 In this conjunction it is requested by both Mir Brown and MT. Mcdonald taht anyone knowin gof horses or other stock running at large that are in like circumstance would have their appreciation if they would noti- fy them so that action may be taken for the protection of the beasts.-Fair- hanks News Miner.
