VANDAL
INJURIES FINE HORSE

A bold act of vandalism was perpe-
trated last Friday afternoon, when
some unknown person or persons
entered the stable of Mr.. Charles w.
Shockley on Market Street, and pro-
ceeded to cut the name and tail Of his
racing horse, Spring Chicken" The
hair on the tail was bobbed, after the
manner of bobbing mule, and the
name was trimmed and notched in an
unsightly manner. Besides disfigur-
ing the horse, causing its probable
withdrawal from racing this season,
the animal, being deprived Of its
natural defense against flies and mos
quitoes, will likely suffer severely
from these pests during the summer.
The act was committed in broad day
light. between one and three o'clock
in the afternoon, during the absence
Of Mr.. Shockley and his wife, and
while no member Of his family was
on the premises. The person or per-
sons who committed the act are being
universally censured and condemned
for maltreating a helpless animal in
30 dastardly and cowardly manner.
