HORSE OWNERIS
 SEEKING TRUCK
New Britain Man Pestered By Humane Society on
 Aged Animal

New Britain, Conn.,, April 9-(UP) Old John Parsons, "A, who earlier this week begged police to "let him be" with his IS year old horse, Dick, drifted around town today looking over buys on used trucks because, after all, he may have to relinquish the animal which has been pulling ash-cart for years. It was the Con- necticut Humane society this time. "Why don't you stop dogging me" Parsons bawled at Investigator James R. Parker of the society when he came around to look at Dick, whose bones stuck out from his skin and who needed 8 haircut badly. You're always on my trail. I mind my own business, why don't you mind yours?"
 Had CIaShed Before
 It developed that Parker and Par sons had run-ins before on the mat ter of horses being fit for cart pull ing. Investigator Parker believed Dick has something the matter with a hind leg.i When he walks, the horse lifts it crudely as if he were in pain. Parsons didn't think so. In fact, when Parker indicated he might go to court to take the horse away, old John got angrier than ever. "I licked you on a case like this once before," he beloved. And I'll do 1t this time."
 Parker used diplomacy. He offered Parsons $10 for the horse. This in- terested the old man considerably since he only had paid $15 for Dick in the first place. That is why he went shopping for used truck to- day.
