No CRIME IN Fox.HuNTINe.
Defeat of the Chicago Humane Society In a
Trial at Tuacola. Ill.


Trial at Tuscola, Ill.
TUsCoLA, Ill, May 14.-The trial OF
the Fairland fox hunters, which was
brought by the Chicago Humane society
against Henry Lewis and others, for
cruelty to animals, occurred here yester-
day, and the jury decided that SO far
as it was concerned the sportsmen could
go on chasing and killing foxes. It re-
turned a verdict of not guilty inside of
ten minutes, seeming to agree with the
counsel for the defense that killing ami
mails wild by nature is no crime, and
that the law was not made to cover such
cases, and should not be construed that
way, A. w. Thomas, Chicago attor-
ney, appeared for the society, and pros
ecuted the case vigorously. A great
deal of interest has been manifested in
the outcome of this case throughout the
sporting world. The hunters will soon
get up another chase, when they hope
to have some fine sport.
