Overdriving.

Last Saturday Barney Heating, who had been on the previous Monday arrest ed on complaint of George H. Browne, proprietor of the Grand Central Hotel, charging him with overdriving and cruelty treating horse which he had hired of Mir. Browne, July 5th, and be- cause of such treatment had died the next day, was put on trial before Justice R. N. Belts. Jas. A. Wilson represented the State; Hon. M. D. Wilbur, of Bridge port, was counsel for Keating There were several witnesses on both sides. The gist of evidence on the part of the prosecution was that Heating hired the horse first to go to Palestine and around town, and the price agreed upon, which was two dollars. Heating said that he might change his mind and go to Dan bury, and was told that the price would be three dollars. Heating took the horse and drove to Palestine to his brothers. a distance of 1-2 miles from Newtown street; from there he drove to Danbury which was 10 miles further. On his re-
 
 Palestine, and when he reached the stable the horse was played out, and died the next morning. MT. Browne claimed that he would not have hired the horse to go the route for three dollars and would have charged five dollars. Keating on the other hand claimed that he told them that he wanted to hire horse to go to Palestine, and they told him that the price would be two dollars, and when he said he might go to Danbury they said the price would be three dollars, and af- ter getting back with the horse he was asked where he had been and he said to Danbury and paid the price, three dol- lars. Heating had several witnesses who testified that on the return home that Barney got out of the buggy and walked up the hills. the horse being unable to draw all that were in the buggy. Keat- ing admitted striking the horse hard with the whip to make it go. After the argument by the lawyers, Justice Betts imposed fine of three dollars and cost. Keating took an appeal. and the case will be heard again at Bridgeport in Au- gust. We refrain from giving In detail all the evidence at this time, but will speak more fully when the trial comes before the Superior Court.

Editor NEWToWN BEE :

Editor VIEWPOINT BEE:
 DEAR SIR II commenced to keep Bees a little over year ago, by buying what know was two very poor old box hives of Bees, at which time I was as ignorant of Bees as person well could be. l also procured a movable frame hive and wait ed for swarm till discouraged, and then bought a swarm and put into it.
 Afterwards forced swarm from each of the old box hives; but it was of no ad- vantage, for it was done so late in the season that neither of the old stocks or swarms made honey enough to winter on, only by packing the hives ill leaves so warmly that they managed to just live through on the little honey they had, and of course, were very weak this Spring. l procured two Italian queens of MT. H. L.. Jeffrey of Woodbury, which he introduced into the hives for me. and with his advice and assistance, now have eight strong stocks, A. Italian, and blacks). and have succeeded in securing a surplus of honey. in very neat and marketable one and two I presented to you, and also left for sale at L. B. Booths store. All my increase of stocks has been by artificial swarming, and the result of my experience with the much honey for me as the Blacks.
 Very truly yours,
 L. B. LAKE.

asa CnNnoecsa Man Commits Suicide In
East M1nncaDOlis
EARLY yesterday morning the dead body of a
man was discovered lying near the railroad
track near the Catholic cemetery. in East Min
neapolis. Word was Immediately sent to the
coroner and the body was removed to Wallis
undertaking establishment, where it was visit
ed all day long by q crowd of morbid curiosity
seekers. Nothing is known of the
deceased beyond the fact that he was seen by a
section boss of the railroad about 10 o'clock
on Wednesday night, lying down where he was
found dead, and in answer to the question as
to what he was doing there he replied that he
was getting rested. When the body was found
yesterday morning bottle containing strych-
nine was found beside it, and the
supposition is that the deceased came
to his death by taking poison,
although the position of the body and the
placid expression of the features would seem
to indicate that he died very easily, and it is
known that death by stryohnino always causes
great agony. The body is that of man about
% years Of age, medium height, black, curly
hair and mustache, and was dressed in dark
pair of pants, brown coat and vest, pair of
boots and felt hat. On his hands were pair
of dogskin gloves and on the little finger of
his right hand is q small silver ring. Nothing
was found on his person which would lead to
his identity, and the coroner will hold the body
in the hopes Of hearing something concern
ing it, -...- -.
