yarn for the benefit of‘ the readers of the
Bridgeport Standard, to the effect that
New Canaan farmers had a lot of horses
diseased with the glanders, which they
drove on the highway and otherwise used
to the damage or danger of their neigh.'
bors. But the imagination of the author,
of the article must be near going to
protest after such a severe draft. Our
farmers are neither so poor nor vicious
as to be in such business. A lawyer and
an agent of the humane society came over
here from Bridgeport to investigate the
charges. One case was a small farmer,
the other a man who lives near the state
line and whose business is various. The
lawyer blustercd around, smoked two
cigars and talked about an hour with a
minister, and the fellow up north skipped
over into York state, The agent enter-
tained quite a crowd In Silliman’s grocery
store with thrilling incidents of the work
of his society, and he did talk'about going
to see the farmer. The Standari was
deceived by whoever gave it the
article, and New Canaan farmers were
-misrepresentcd. »
