pecial Correspondence OF The Star.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, June 3. 1912.
James Harrison. owner of the flying
horses recently installed on the old
fair grounds. was cited to court this
morning at the instance of a number of
property owners who own houses on
that square and who object to the
horses.
Justice Cation dismissed the case,
holding that it could not be handled
in his court. He told the complain
ants that the only manner in which
the case could be handled would be by
means of the revocation of the license
or through a civil court. on the ground
that 1t was a private nuisance. In the
event it was a public nuisance 1t could
be handled in his court, he said.
Mr.. Harrison was represented by At
torney r. D. Brumbach, and he ak
planned to the court that he had OBJ
tanned the necessary license for the
operation of the flying horses:
The petition objecting to the horses
was signed by twelve property owners
living nearby.
