Will ALLEN and Bert REASOR were drunk Monday afternoon and used a fine five-year-old colt that they were riding behind, for the term driving does not apply to their case, in a very cruel manner, beating it and driving in such a reckless manner that they endangered the people whom the met on the streets. They ran their horse across the flats behind DEAN'S tannery and LEACH'S mill and both fell from the wagon as the horse entered the mill yard. They were rendered unconscious, but were soon on their feet. ALLEN was in the worse condition of the two and he was a second time unconscious. His father Patrick ALLEN at DEAN'S tannery, was sent for but by the time he arrived the man had recovered and started looking for the horse, which was caught near the E. S. FARNHAM place a mile or more above the mill. The colt showed signs of hard usage, great welts being raised on his back, flanks and the inside of his legs where the whip had been plied. This case might lead to a salutary lesson if the agent of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals should take up the case. SURROGATES COURT Before Hon. Howard W.
