COrnvllle Man IN Horse Beating
Affair

John Wyndom of Cornyille was ar
rested at his home In that town Fri
day night by Deputy Sheriffs Fuller
of Hartland and Grant of ST. Adams,
following q complaint made early in
the day to Sheriff Mooers to the effect
that Wyndom on Wednesday previous
had cruelty beaten and abused a
horse, belonging to Charles Libby.
Investigations by the above named Of
fcers disclosed that Wyndom claimed
to have been bitten by the horse and
in return. 1t appears that he tied the
fore legs of the animal with a rope
and succeeded in casting him and aft
erwards beat him with a heavy pole
yoke with iron rings in each end.
The animal succeeded in breaking
away and making his escape but was
captured again, roped and thrown in
the dooryard when another beat
ing ensued 1t was claimed. The
owner of the horse being away for
an indefinite period, the family were
much alarmed and neighbors came
who interfered and interceded to stop
the punishment. Wyndom was brot
to Skowhegan where warrant was
Immediately sworn out. He was
lodged in the county Jail. Saturday
forenoon at a hearing before Trial
Justice T. G. Lord, Wyndom pleaded
guilty and was given thirty days Dur
Ing this time he will be observed and
probably examined by physicians as
to his sanity. According to the Of
ficer, Wyndom carried very large
4 ,,Ir l. nj 70 "a N ri
when interviewed by the Sheriff, after
taking it from his person, he unhesi-
tatingly said. 1t Is claimed, that he
might need to use 1t. The horse
bore unmistakable evidences of Sc
we're beating and in other ways show
ed the effects of his i'll treatment.

two months in Maine, stimulating in

members of the Skowhegan Rotary
Club at the weekly luncheon Tues
day noon. Mr.. Taylor presented
some plans whereby crippled children
could be taken care of and stated that
at the coming school census in April
the names of the afflicted children
would be acquired in a house to
house canvass. With complete list
of names and an understanding of
each childs condition, the program
will proceed to its second and most
important step, the care of the Grip
pied child. This care will involve
both possible cure and adequate edu-
cation. Clinical examination and
treatment, hospital space for serious
cases, special equipment classes or
schools, all of these will be consider
ed and adapted to the needs OF the
crippled children. 1t is the purpose
of the association to establish a ser
les of clinics for the examination OF
cripple children In this state. and
Skowhegan is one of the towns where
it is proposed to hold clinic. This
will include an examination to deter
