Charged With Abusing A Horse

CHARGED WITH ABUSING A HORSE

Frank Jenkins, a negro, was arrested by Chief of Police Warren Monday on a warrant sworn out by A. H. Holmes, the liveryman, charging him with cruelly abusing a horse belonging to Holmes yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Holmes says that Jenkins hired a horse and buggy in the afternoon to drive about the city and when the horse returned to the barn it had been so badly beaten that large welts stood out on its flesh. "It looked as though it had been lying on a bumble bees' nest," said Mr. Holmes in describing the beating the horse had gotten.

Jenkins says that the horse lay down on a barbed wire fence when he unhitched it from the buggy to feed it. The case was set for hearing July 30, by Justice Gibson.
