Wilson, who lives out on Griffin creek, tele phoned Chief of Police Shearer of this city, stating that a horse had been tied to a tree near his place since about noon Monday, or longer than that. An Investigation Into the case made by Deputy Charles Tull disclosed the fact that the horse be longed to a man by the name of Dyer, who lives in the western part of Medford. It is claimed Dyer had gone out on Griffin cretk with the horse and a light wagon some time Monday and that the horse had refused to pull the load of wood, and it was tied to a tree or post and Dyer came to the city on foot. When Mr. Tull went to the man's house yesterday afternoon he was told by Mrs. Dyer that her husband would go after the animal last night. At fifteen minutes of ten last night Dyer was still In Medford and pre sumably the animal was atill tied to a tree at Griffin creek. From the time Mr. Wilson saw the animal tied to a tree until 10 o'clock last night the animal had been tied there without food or water for fully 36 hours. This Is surely a case which ought to have the attention of the cruelty to animals order, aad If there be no such an order, then the district attorney should take the matter up and prosecute the offender to the fullest extent.

Central Ae., Just North of Jackson County Bank THE CHARTER OAK. lis Tailed and Funaral Oirgss Played When It Fall. The charter oak of Hartford waa a white oak. The story goes that when James, duke of York, ascended tbe throne of England and sent Andros to take away ull colonial charters Con necticut alone refused to surrender hers. Andros waa furious over this defiance, and Oct. 31. 148T. he returned to the assembly ball of Hartford witb a body of soldiers and demanded in stant surrender of the charter, which lay In a bos on the table. A hot dis cussion followed. Finally Andros stretched out bis hand to seize the disputed paper. Then the candles were suddenly extinguished, and the people who bad gathered on the street outside rushed Id a diaorderly crowd Into the hall. Tbe re was a period of wild confusion In the dark, and when the candlea were finally relighted no charter was to lie found. It had been removed by Captain Wadsworth and concealed In the oak, which ever after ward bore Its name. The oak waa even then old. "When the flrat settlers ware clesrlng their land tbe Indiana begged that it might be apared. 'It baa been the guide of our ancestors for centuries.' they said. aa to the time of planting oar corn. When tbe leaves are tbe alsa of a mouse's ears, then Is tbe time to pat seed Into tbe ground.' Tbe Indiana' re quest waa granted, and tbe tree, after ward becoming the custodian of tbe lost charter, became famous for all time. It fell In a windstorm Aug. 21, 1836, and so deeply waa It venerated that at sunset on tbe day of Ita tall tha bells or tbe city were tolled and a band of mutlc played funeral dirges mr Ita ruins. At the time of Its fall Ita circumfer ence one toot from tbe ground waa twenty-five feet, and It waa estimated to be over J00 years old. Kansas City 8 tar.
