Owosso, Mich., July 9. Jockey
George Drown was noticed beating his
horse cruelly two miles east of the
city limits. Harvey Thomas swore out
a warrant and Marshal Rose arrested
Drown. Justice McCaughna fined him
$10, all within one hour. Anticipating
arrest. Drown had tilled his pockets
with rocks but was disarmed by the
marshal. The jockey inquired what
the fine would be for assault and battery
on the court. At last reports he
was looking for the man who swore
out the warrant.
