the stable in the evening, the bill charged by
Wilson was disputed by the young men, who
thought the amount outrageous. Wilson
found he could not get the amount in cash
and then as he said, proceeded to "take it out
of their hidesH--or in other words, he pro-
ceeded to infict physical punishment. The
young men threatened the arrest of Wilson
npon charge OF assault and battery, but Will

them by having them arrested for overdriving
the horses. The case came up for a hearing
yesterday afternoon, and resulted in acquitting
the young man.
