WASHINGTON May 4, 4,1S90.-The case Of Gus
Leisy & Co.. plaintiffs in error VS.. A. j.
Hardin. which has been made famous by the
recent decision of the United States Supreme
Court, rested on the following facts: Leisy
q Co. were brewers residing in Peoria, H.,
and having their principal place of bus
mess there. In the course of their business
they sent large quantity of beer in barrels,
half barrels and quarter barrels to Keokuk,
Ia, consigned to their agent John Leisy,
who was resident of Keokuk. The beer
was stored in warehouse at Keokuk owned
by member of the Peoria firm and was
offered for sale in the packages in which it
was received. Soon after the liquors were
received by Leisy, Hardin who was county
constable seized the liquors by virtue of a
search warrant, regularly issued, on the
ground that said liquors were kept for un-
lawful sale. Leisy & Co. then replevined
the liquors, claiming that their seizure was
illegal on the ground that the statute Of
Iowa authorizing the seizure of liquors in
tended for sale so far as 1t related to liquors
imported in the original package and sold by
the importer in the original package, was
unconstitutional inasmuch as 1t was in effect
a regulation Of interstate commerce by the
state. The lower court decided in favor of
the firm but the supreme court Of Iowa re-
versed the decision Of the lower court and
affirmed the constitutionality of the statute
in question. Leisy & Co. then sued out
writ of error and took the case to the su-
preme court Of the United States for review.
The opiniOn of this court was announced nv
Chief Justice Fuller and is as follows

BRUTALLY KILLED.
Abuse of a Bangor Mans Horse by
Unknown Persons.

BANGOR, May 3.-The facts in relation to
the most shocking cruelty ever perpetrated
on dumb animal have just become known.
Some mysterious and unknown person has
been at work for the past two weeks and by
the most fiendish acts has caused the death
of a fine horse, the property of City Under
taker T. J. Cole of this city.
There appears to be no motive for the cru
city, and detectives have been set to work on
the case to hunt down the perpetrator. Some
time ago the horse showed signs of trouble
with one of his feet and an examination
showed that nail had been driven into a
very tender part. 1t was removed and
nothing was thought of the matter. A little
later the horse showed signs of similar trouble
and on investigation another nail was found.
How it got there could not be accounted for.
1t seemed strange to Mr. Cole, who was slow
to suspect that 1t had been put there inten-
tionally and with the purpose of injurins
the animal.
About two weeks ago, however. something
happened that aroused Mr.. Coles suspi-
cions, and made it certain that some one was
subjecting the horse to the most cruel and
inhuman treatment. There appeared to be
some trouble with the horses mouth, and
Mr.. Cole after looking at it, found the end
OF the horses tongue gone. 1t had apparently
been cut off. Mr.. Cole thought it might be
the result of an accident, but was puzzled to
ehahh hoW ouSu q tnln6 COuio hdfO OCOuhlCu
unknown to him. Mr.. Beers veterinary
surgeon was consulted. He examined the
tongue with glass and was satisfied after
an examination, that the tongue had been
cut off with knife The suspicious circum-
stances of the nails in the hoof were recalled
and it became evident to both Mr. Beers and
Mr.. Cole that the act was the work of human
hands.
1t was decided to keep watch on the
horse, but this did not prevent some un-
known person from getting in the last and
fatal stroke. few days ago the horse was
found to be in a worse condition than ever.
He could not eat. His wounded tongue,
which had been dressed and cared for by
skilful hands. and which appeared to be
healing, could not cause this new and appar-
emily more serious trouble. The owner and
MIR. Beers were puzzled, but sought to dis
| cover the trouble, and when they found
what had been done they were more sur
| prised than ever.
A small file had been sharpened at both
| ends and had been driven
up into the roof of the mouth of the horse,
almost out of sight and reach. 1t was the
last and most effective stroke in the treat
ment. The horse suffered greatly and Mr..
Cole decided yesterday to put him out of
pain, Accordingly he was chlOroformed.
Mr.. Cole did not know that he had an ene-
my In the world. He does not, therefore,
know who to suspect or in what direction to
turn to find the guilty man.

The Case of the Gloucester Schooner
Howard HoIbrook.

GLOUCESTER, Mass. May 3.-A telegram
just received by Oakes & Foster, from Unit
ed States Consul Molloy at st. Johns. n. F.,
states that the captain and crew of the
schooner Howard Holbrook were convicted
of violating the bait act and the vessel with
license and cargo of herringlwere confseated-.
rirc HOlDrook was line vessel, about seven
years old, and was valued with outfit at
$4,000 No news has been received from the
captain or crew and it is believed that they
are in prison. This news with other out
RACES. has created great excitement here
among the fishing interest. 1t is the univer.
sal opinion that this will bring the matter of
fishery outrages to head, and that the gov
ernment must act now if at all. Otherwise
the bank codfshing fleet which is the main
stay OF the fishing interest will be intimida
ted from pursuing their voyages, as the own
ers prefer to have their vessels tied at the
wharves rather than have them seized and
contiscated by Newfoundland officials. In
addition to the confiscation of his vessel the
captain of the Holbrook was fined $500 and
the penal sum of his bond, the bond being
for $1,000.
