NEED HUMANE OFFICER
Unblanketed Teams Stand
for Hours in Below Zero
Weather in Village.

The need of a humane officer is
apparent in Eagle River at pres
ent in order to arrest and fine
owners of teams who leave them
standing hitched on the streets
where the below zero weather
chllls them to the bone.
Within the past week several
cases of cruelty to dumb animals
was witnessed on our setreets. In
one instance one horse was left
standing ON the main street dur
ing zero weather without any
protecting blanket from the gale
blowing. This horse was so un-
dernourished that after several
hours standing in the cold, fell
exhausted to the ground. 1t was
assisted to it's feet, and but for
the kindness of some humane fell
lows would have been left to it's
fate.
Several other instances almost
as bad are witnessed daily by own
ers of teams. The G. S. Club has
rented a barn on Division street
for the caring of farmers teams
and it is no great chore for the
individual to place his horses I'M
der cover; or if he cannot secure
stall, let him blanket the team
properly, and further let them re-
main standing but a short time
This method of tying up dumb
animal where it will be exposed
to all kinds of weather and then
going into some store and gossip
for several hours in warmth and
comfort is cruel to the extreme
Such cases should be brought to
the attention of proper officers
and the owner heavily fined.

Buy His Own Cow Back.

Farmer friends of VIM. Wehrs,
who lives at Lacrosse county, are
having a good laugh at his ex-
pense. Some days before the last
West Salem COW sale, Wehrs sold
a COW out of his herd to Clark,
who operates the sales pavilion.
Wehrs attended the sale and
bought cow that looked good to
him. When he took the cow home,
he thought she acted strangely at
home when she went over to the
tank and drank, and he was thor
oughly surprised to see her, when
she entered the barn, walk direct
~ into the stall vacated by the
cow he sold. He then looked her
over carefully and discovered she
was the same COW he had sold to
Clark. He had bid her at the auc-
tion for $50 more than he received
for her. The care and attention
of the auctioneer's men had dres-
sed her up so that he had not rec
ognized her.-Sparta Democrat.
