Mrs. Jewel F'ord of 602 Ford
street has a candidate for Kings
Mountain's “most cruel person.”
Writes Mrs. Ford:
“I say it is the person who has
nothing to do but to take a pis
tol and shoot the intestines out
of little innocent kittens.
“Such two incidents have
happened within a week at the
Henry Ford’s re3idence on Ford
street.
‘Tn both cases, a pistol shot
has been heard and the kittens,
“Tiger” and “Teddy Bear” have
been found dying in the yard.
“I think we have a city ordi
nance ferbidding the use of fire
arms iriiide the city limits, but it
seems to be ignored more each
day. In fact-there has been so
much pistol and rifle shooting
in this section of Kings Mountain
that a stranger pas.sing through
would think they were out on a
rifle range somewhere.
"It seems to me something else
should be done to protect the
<9 mb animals, before it gets to
the human beings.”
