The attack usually come* without pre monition. It is bejlcvert that a greater nlimher oj deaths am caused by colic every year among good horses than re sult from any otlier ailment. When attacked, the horte paws vio lently, kicks at his belly, puts his nose to his Hanks, lies down, rolls on his hack, breatblog heavily. The par oxysm seems to cease, the horse rises, -dertee* hlmsiTr and look* for food, hut there is a sudden recurrence oi the spasms, the sufferer breaks into pro fuse perspiration aiul throws himself about a* before, r In im hour or two either the intervals between the spasms are longer dr they heenno more and more violsnt, -ami death ensues. T4|e causes of colic are improper feeding, dei^her In quality or quantity, drinking to excess of cold, water, or standing w hen heated unpro tected In the cold air. The horse suffering from...spasmodic Colic should ba placed at once in Ve roomy box stall well littered down with straw.

Agatha Drew, his niece, was being examined. “Have yobi been bronglit Up to con- sldor yourself your, uncle’s heiress-?" “1 have.” “Had any on* Hae hope of inheriting the property?” “Ye*, toy cousin, Mark Turner. He would have been the heir, but my uncle had seen very llttff* of him, .while he hadi adopted me When I was a child.” “Did you Lave any trouble with your uncle?" r ‘ “Only in one mnttefr. He wanted ine to‘marry my eouslu. Mark Turner. I refused, whereupon my uncle threat ened to disinherit me and leave his property to Mfhrk.” Every ohe id the court room scrutinis ed the witness, ^lux.might have had every reason to commit the murder. Yet bet appearance was so innocent and her words were so frank that few believed she was the guilly one. The next- witness was EJWard "Turner’s (the deceased’s) lawyer. “When did you see Edward Turner last?” “On Friday—three days ago. He called me in td make a new will. His property had been willed to bis niece, Agatha Drew. I drew a new will, which wus executed in favor of Mark Turner.” '—-y-^-— - “Is that will the latest?” “The latest to my knowledge.”. - “Did any one know of this change of wlfir’*. ~t “4 think not. Mr. Turner strictly charged me not to speak of It. There fore .te probably did not speak of It himself. He told me l^s niece kuew that If she perdsted In a certain mar riage and refused to marry her cousin she would be disinherited, but she did wot know the will had been changed.? “Can Elliot Stanford.” * - A young man of prepossessing ap- poarance stepped to the witness stand. “Are you acquainted with any rea son why any person should desire the late Edward Turner’s death?” "No."' 'xy > . r ,r What were his relations with bis nephew, Marlj Turner?" 7^. “Recently they mqst have boeaTery intimate, for Edward\Turnef listened to many stories Mark Turner told him to ray tils;,dvr.ntage.” “What motive had Mark Turner for this?” ■ X ■ .“To marry Agatha Drew, I being out of the way. . This did. not ertrry rauelf' weight.
