HORSE CltlKU.Y TREATED.
Tivd :I0 Hours . Without Anything to
Kut or Drink.
Yesterday afternoon J. R. 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.

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

At the time of Its fall Ita circumfer
