Horse shot by policeman nets $250 award
George W. Stout of Red Bank received 250 dollars from the last legislature for his horse killed by former officer John Fields in Red Bank last summer. The horse, in use by James Morford of Second Troop Cavalry, slipped on Monmouth street and was shot after it fell. An examination by a veterinarian found no serious injury beyond the wind knocked out. Local officials initially refused liability, but Assemblyman Leon R. Taylor and Borough Counsellor Alston Beekman helped secure the appropriation.
