PASTOR TO DEFEND OVER-WORKED ANIMALS.

Rev. W. T. Barbre, pastor of the First Christian church, thinks it is not a rumor but an actual fact that some animals are mistreated by being over-worked right in Jasper county and in the vicinity of Rensselaer and that a protest should be made against such inhumane acts. He believe that while the miners and steel workers are defending their cause, someone should speak out for these mistreated animals. This matter will 'be laid before the community in a sermon at the Christian church Sunday evening. -Whether any arrests will feUewde—pends upon the interest of the cornmen, farmers and professional men and certainly the women of the community should hear the facts as they will be presented. The pastor does not charge the community with wilful negligence, but with thoughtlessness and indifference."
