On Friday last, Nelson Gilman of

Justice e. A. Weber on complaint
treatment of a horse, the results OF
which caused the death of the horse.
The respondent, Gilman with two
other young men of the same town, at
tended a dance at Wellington on the
night of May oath. They left Well
ington about l o'clock to return home
on the morning of the 25th. On
which date the cruel treatment was
alleged to have taken place. The
horse which was of the bronco strain
being very spirited at times was no
torious about this section for its
balkiness, and it was during one OF
these Eighty and obstinate spells that
the horse met its death by rearing in
to the air and falling and breaking
its neck. The horse had baked at
least dozen time in going distance
of three miles and according to the
testimony of States witnesses that,
aside from the broken neck, there
were no marks on the body of the
horse to show it had been abused or
i'll treated. Justice Weber held that
the evidence was insufficient to hold
the respondent, and the horse met
death through its own viciousness.
Respondent was discharged. County
Attorney appeared for the State and
William l.. Anderson, Esq, for the
respondent Gilman.
