May 26, and took the bees away, but the neighbor claimed them as his property, and sued Mr. Bacbman for them ; and the justice de- cided in Mr. Bachman's favor. Then the neighbor appealed the case ; and Mr. Bachman appealed to the Union for de- fense. Being a member of the Union we gave the points of law in the case to our attorney, who made good use of them, and the jury decided in favor of the owner, and the pugna- cious neighbor had to pay the costs—another victory for the Union. DECLARING BEES A NUISANCE. Mr. W. A. Webster, a member In Pylema, Calif., last March reported that a petition had been circulated there, asking the Supervisors to prohibit the keeping of bees in that place by a city ordinance, and askt us for instructions as to what to do in the matter. We replied with advice, and docu- ments for circulation. By posting the Board of Supervisors in advance about the unconstitutionality of such an ordinance if past, the members were fully prepared to deal with the matter, and promptly denied the petition. Thus defeated, they made trouble in Mr. Webster's apiary by overturnine the hives and stealing the honey at night. We advised Mr. Web- ster to let it be understood that he was a member of the Na- tional Bee-Keepers' Union, and that we would make it liot for any one found meddling with the hives or bees. He did so, and that trouble also ceast. men's RATES. In the case of S. T. Fish & Co., mentioned in my last Re- port, being a disagreement about the rate of commission on several carloads of honey, amounting to over @200—altho we have written scores of lettes, the important documentary proofs have not been produced on which to successfully estab- lish the claim—several letters having been mislaid or lost. Until these are found no further progress can be made. We regret this, because we have already spent so much time, labor and expense on the case. The Chicago com
