A D. D Ramel Bamel 55 North State street Last summer she sprained her ankle and it was necessary for her to keep the ankle in a cast for a long period Now Mrs l Ramel's Raniel's 5 home is in full view of both the North State Stale street and the First avenue hills hills both both long and fairly heavy grades It is not fair to the horses to expect them to take heavy leavy loads up those hills which they can move on easier grades Yet that is what Mrs 1 Ramel during her few weeks of 01 enforced idleness saw time and andt t time me again And when the horses drawing perhaps a heavy load of gravel were unable though trying their very best to move th the load the inhuman teamsters often beat them unmercifully with their cruel whips or the first club that came handy in the vain effort to make the horses accomplish the impossible Time and time again said Mrs 1 Ramel RaDl l I have seen horse after horse collapse after the most cruel treatment It was as simply terrifying I have even seen such horses tied t to tD a post and left t there thereto ere to be he taken away at night The next mo morning it t would be hitched on again to r. r load just as heavy It was something terrible the treatment of horses which 1 I watched It aroused ID me mc to to the be need of having sO something done and since then T have been doing what I co could ld and have teen endeavoring endeavor endeavor- ii 1 ing t get more effective work started I I I spent my childhood days on a ranch where we h had d several hors horses s and m my experience ce there made me ms a lover y r of f the tbd h friends ri d of man n tf 3 u S f r learned enough m- m Rt any rate to believe th that t they were wore entitled entitled en en- titled to a certain amount of of f decent t treatment I ml may say sav that tho the way the they theT treat treal animals in this town is simply out out- ra Last summer I was compelled compelled com corn to witness some thin things s which made m my say blood boil I I did what hat I could but that was not much I sometimes talked with the teamsters when they were beating beatin horses that were already doin doing their very best Sometimes they desisted dE in in many cases they paid not not th the slightest attention For awhile I bad had about three quarrels a day with team team- stem c Then I talked with acquaintances and called their attention to the cru cru- elt city elty They had noticed it too but when I asked them to make the complaints corn com com complaints plaints to the officers that I could not make myself bec because my toy ankle pro pro- vented my attending court they re reo re- re fused N Nothing of that kind for them They were willin willing to talk lots but when it if came to doin doing something they passed it on to somebody esI elseI elseI es else I wrote three letters to Dr T. T B. B Beatty about it since o last June in inclosing inclosing losin los los- in ing stamped and addressed envelopes for replies I want wanted wante to know if I could not get et something started som somehow some some- hoW tiow in behalf of these poor abused brutes I got ot not a a reply Something Must Be Done Ie I I called up the tho city humane officer several se times but somehow never was able to find him at his office I gave m my name and address every time but never heard hearil from him but the thc once In that hat case tho the response was vms not entirely satisfactory At any rate nothing was doner done Ie I r r told toM him hint about an animal I had heard of down in the southern part of the he cit city citA A few fc- days later I went to investigate in that case cao for myself I 1 found that nothing had been heen done lone The I horse torso had an injured hoof and must have b been brn en suffering badly It was no use to itself nor to its owner A few days fla's later I t investigated that case n ogain ain and found that the ani ant mal nal Imd finally been killed to put it out of its ifs miser misery I J believe C though that hat it was not any m idea ilea of humanity hut mt rathor rather the tho fear of the n nI nI I threatened m myself in that instance that hat brou brought ht about the results ob- ob tai tamed ned I r r have tried to get et in in touch

CUrl cnn of tea or something I like ike e that instead of getting out and doing any really effective work Ie I I surely sureh w would uld t take ke a n Yel very active interest in inthe the work of a

that to handle this leni lem em ri right ht it t will be bo necessary for some sonic money to be bo spent Pe Persons sons with powers pow pow- ers era of officers should I suppose be bo as as- signed to certain distri districts ts of the cit city and they should receive e remuneration enough h to make them take an au inter interest st stin ork in n the work U But Bus But from the interest I have e met I do believe that there are plenty of persons in the thA cit city who would be willing to pay from 25 cents cents' to 1 a month if they ther believed beHoved that really effective e work ork was wan bein being done in behalf be half lf of the abused dumb brutes They mi might ht not be willin willing to have havo their names appear as cU complaining witnesses in a court case but they would help belp nevertheless finally I r r have havo written to the tho headquarters for the tIle Am American rican Society th the tho of elty to Ani maI malTy-in malTy New k Dd Jn d just what dan can an be

Cruelty Seen Every Day It uIt was not only last summer that I Iwas Iwas was compiled to witness such cruelty to anim animals l It occurs near my ray home all nfl the Only yesterday a wagon Joa loaded I should say with two tons ol of coal and from the Citizens Coal and Coke company yards became stalled althe at al atthe atthe the foot of nf the tho First avenue hill hilI an amin and am 1 in sight of my home The animals were ver very clearly doin doing their utmost to move that load and yet et the tho teamster beat them ln most lt unmercifully in his an angry y attempt to get e them to take tho the load lond tp ip tho the hill bill without any further trouble to him Finally he be had bad to desist and a short time tinie later a second team was secured se se- se- se cured Even then it was was clearly a gooc good load Joad on the hill for two teams anc and about all alt thc they could draw And yet he tried to make ono one poor team do that heavy wor work Lets Let's Hear From Others I am so glad that THE TELEGRAM TELEGRAM TELE TELE- GRAM has taken this matter matter- up and andis andis andis is taking the tho stand it has in behalf of oi the animals I believe good may result result re re- sult suit from this if tho people of of Salt Laka City interested will only get et behind behind be be- hind the movement And 1 I believe there ar ari many who wh will bo be glad Iad to todo do so foO THE HE TELEGRAM believes e that the experience of Mrs Ramel as related above has many parallels in in Salt Lake City It believes cs that many persons ha have hao o be been n doin doing what they eo could to prevent the cruelty to animals which has marred the tho name of the city in the I Ihas belief of man ninny many And it hopes hores they will jet ct et be bo able ahle to get organized along omo some definite lines and with a definite purpose in view so that all the dumb servitors of man may abe be accorded just as kind treatment in n this city as a's as they are aro in inan inan an any other lit 10 in the land |
