Will- iams of Hartford. The towns visited in- cluded Norwich, Montville, Bozrah and Willimantic. ) v One “case rccently brought to the at- tention of the society was that of an old white horse which was abandoned. after its ownership had been changed twice within a few months’.time. As a result of the abuse and nezlect to this worn out and worthless animal, both owners haye been arrested, convicted on the charges brought against them, and fined in *he town court at Montville, ‘where both parties reside. During the summer Abe Mersky trad- ed the horse in question with Angelo Pi- teo for two geese. The latter used this horse double for about two weeks ploughing a few acres, etc., although the animal was very much emanciated. Oc- tober 12th, Piteo sold the horse back to Mersky for $3, at the same time remark- ing that it was no good and unfit for work. Mersky took the horse, however, and turned it ¢*. with no more thought of it until a 9 days later when he (Mersky) Jec'ded'to look for ft; mean- time the negiected animal had been roaming around at the mercy of nejgh- bors, without food or water so far as its owner was concerned. Deputy Sheriff Michael J. Hickey was notified and after ' communicating with the officers of the Humane society at Hartford was given instructions as how to dispose of the ecase. Mr. Hickey, who is also an agent of this society, went to where the horsa was reported to be and after taking the proper course in such a case, shot the animal. This was Oc- fober 14th, and the followlne day when the owner thought he wbuld look for his property he found it had been killed. As the nights were extremely cold at that time steps were taken immediately to bring about arrest and prosecution for cruelty and neglect. Agent Williams and Sheriff Hickey vis- ted the farm of Fiteo, and upon‘learn- ing the facts concerning the affair, brought charges against him for cruelty |to animals. Tn the court of Montville be- fore Justice William Smiddy, Monday, Dec. 5th, Piteo. was found guilty and fined, the costs of which' amounted to $20.21. Monday of this week: Mersky was tried in the same court before Justice Smiidy, for abandoning therr!e and leaving it to suffer exposure of cold and stormy weather. He also was found guilty and his fine and costs totaled $28.03. Agent Willlame was present at the court on Monday.
