made yesterday by Tbe Tribune in an ar
ticle In the South Side Items stating that
Sanitary Ofllcer Burke had sent Hewitt &
Hon after the remains of the horse burned
in Thursday evening'B fire on Stone ave
nue. We wish to say that neither Ofllcer

If we had been notified we should have
removed it at once, the same as we always

number of years ago wo removed William
Sllkmen's horses tliat were burned, alxo
a lot of horses at the old Susquehanna

to mention. If In future any one who is
so unfortunate to lose horses by flro or
In any other way will notify us we will
