PIOCHE BURRO SUBJECT OF
MOST SERIOUS OPERATION

The faces Of at least twenty-three
spectators were drawn and tense-a
BombsheIl exploding in their midst
would likely have failed TO attract at
tentiOn-for all were intensely inter
.sted in an operation being performed
by DR.. J. III. Hastings on one OF the
many burros of which Phoebe boasts.
The operation took place yesterday
morning on one of the principal streets
OF Phoebe.
The doctor. whose kindness to all
dumb animals, including human be-
ings, is we'll known. was down on his
knees in the mud and with a pair of
long-forked pincers was diligently and
industriously engaged in an effort to
remove a tin can from the left rear
foot OF the animal. which he had evil
IDENTIFY intended to devour after proper
| nattening.
Mr. Burro objected most stfenuously.
not, perhaps, that he wished the can
| to remain on his foot. which cut into
his hook at every step. but evidently he
disliked to be the object of SO much
attention and pity. He kicked this way
and that, plunging and rearing. but Il
no avail. for the small boy who was
hanging by the animals ears knew his
Job too well and held on for dear life
In the end the burro was subdued. DR.
Hastings removed the can and gave |
satisfied grunt as he viewed the in
jured limb, which might have beef
worse but for medical attention, an
remarked concerning a scratch infiict
ed upon his right forearm by MI
Burro.
The crowd backed away and tn
burro hee-hawed and wandered int
another can pile in an evident efoi
, to attach another can to his foot.
