VALUABLE MARE SHOT
OUTRAGE IH QUEENSLAND Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright BRISBANE, May 20. (Received May 20, at 11.5 a.m.) At the Ipswich Show, Mr H. D. Reisenlciter, in announcing the scratching of his champion Clydesdale mate, Meadow Bank Phyllis, from the competition, stated that she had been deliberately shot in one of his paddocks by an unknown trespasser. The horse had been shot at close range. Two bullet wounds were found near the shoulder blade and the foreleg, and there was also a gaping wound near the heart, apparently made by such a weapon as a bayonet. The mare, which was imported from New Zealand in 1934, cost 350 gs, and was female champion at the Brisbane Royal Exhibition last year.
