Many granite cutters, railroad en-
ployes and other people had Just cause
in giving vent to their indignation and
wrath near the Central Vermont rail |
road crossing on Granite street during |
the noon hour yesterday. Some man,
whose name is unknown, driving a pair |
of horses attached to a sled, drove |
alongsGranite street with a black and |
white COW, which he had just pur
chased at some auction sale, hitehed to
the back of the sled. The COW had |
been secured by moose slipped around
its nee, and another around its nose.
Being reluctant to follow her new own
err, the animal had been dragged by |
the superior strength of the horses TO /
such an extent that by the time the
railroad crossing was reached both
nooses had frightened. Too exhausted
to go any further it had to be dragged
across the tracks in order TO avoid an
train. About that time
the bovine was unable to stand on its
feet and fell to the ground. A few
men in the close vicinity made haste to
release the COW, which was bleeding
at the nose and had its breath almost
shut off by the rope around is neck.
1t was evident from conversation with
the man in the sled that he was quite
ignorant of the physical condition Of
the COW. and quite as ignorant of the
proper treatment that should be ac-
corded a dumb animal The indigna
ton and anger expressed by many Of
the passersby was certainly justified.
