Poison Meant
for Squirrels
Eaten by Horse
SllT IS FILED TO RECOVER
PAM AGE FOK IX JURY TO
THE ANIMAL.
Whether or not a man putting out
poison for squirrels can be neid li
able for the Inlurv to livestock killed
by the poison Is a question which the
court will probably have to decide in
ct.nseouence of the flllnir of a suit yes-
terday afternoon by George h. Wur
ster against W. B. Hamilton.
Both men are farmers on Butter
creek and their farms are adjoining.
Wurster alleges In his complaint
that Hamilton put out squlrel poi
son In his own fields but so close to
the dividing fence that one of plain
tiff's horses was able to eat some of
It when reaching through the fenc
for grass. He claims damages In the
nmount of 1200.
It Is probable that the question of
trespass will enter Into the case
Whether the horse, being still In Its
owner's field, becomes a trespasser
when reaching through or over the
fence Is a matter of dispute and the
point will prove an Interesting one.
Osmer E. Smith Is representing the
plaintiff In the suit.
