A few days agoa drummer named
Tolar hired a horse {rom Joe Moye to
go to Washingtun. He got on a spree
and treated the horse so shamefully
that he was arrested andT imprisoned at
Washington for cruelty to animals. A
stableman telegraphed Moye and he
went down to see about the animal.
The drummer bad been released and
gave Moye a check to cover the cost of
the horse.
Wednesday evening tke drummer
came up to Greenville with a double
horse purchased trom Moye. . This
horse died soon after reaching bere. The}
drummer took the other horse and lead
him into CheekTs bar reom and wanted
whiskey for the animal. A crowd gath-
ered around the back door to see
what was going on when he took out
two pistols and began fising in the air
to frighten the crowd away. The
drummer was arrested aud Mayor
Forbes tined him $20 tor disorderly |
