Warning to the Cowboy Racers.

President Shortall of the Illinois Humans society
is taking steps to prevent the cowboy race
from Chadron, Neb., to Chicago. He believes
that a 700-mile run would be cruelty to horses
and he has sent a letter to Harvey Weir of Chadron
protesting against the race and citing the
law bearing on the project. In it he said: "Such
violation of law being from hour to hour, arrest
after arrest of the same individual can and will
be made. I may also add that all conspirators in
and abettors of such violation of law ill be arrested
as found, and punished equally with the
principals.
