WANTONLY KILLS A HORSE Miscreant Commits an Unusual Crime Near Aberdeen. Between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, several mornings ago, some unknown miscreant entered the horse stable on the J. H. Levenight farm near Aber deen, a station on the C. and L.

It was shortly after five o'clock in the morning when David Snyder, ten ant on the farm, went to the barn to feed the stock. While feeding the horses he noticed that this one would not get up and come to his trough as usual. And on going into the stable found that the horse was dead but still warm.
