Why do people hang up on people who own a horse?

Because they are rude. It is very rude to hang up on someone, no matter what the other someone says or does (or has), so the person that hung up hung up because they were a rude person. And the person that had the horse might have said something that offended the other person, knowingly or unknowingly, so the other person hung up on them. It is no excuse to hang up on someone, but it may have been the reason.

How did they kill Salem witches?

They usually hung, burnt, drowned, or cut them to death. EDIT: At Salem, they only hung the convicted witches. Burning was a Continental European punishment. Drowning was part of the water test and if you drowned you were innocent. And "cut" I can only explain as beheading. The only person accused of witchcraft to be beheaded was Anne Bolynn, and that was because she was convicted of treason.
