Chenery, of East Whit- by township, $10 and costs in police court this morning when he pleaded guilty to the charge.

They apparently be- came blinded or frightened by h's lights and jumped, one rning into the ditch clear of the road, and the other jumping directly in the path of the car.

The local humane "inspector was notified and investigated, finding that the horse had his left hind leg broken in two places and that it was in great pain, so it was destroyed. The animal was the property of Mr. Frank Michael, and was one of a fine matched team owned by Mr. Michael. The horses had apparently broken through the fence and strayed onto the road.
