The San Bernandino (Cal.) Index says:

"The case of Randall and Noyes against Gus-tave Bohn, which was decided in Justice Knox's court yesterday, is probably without a parallel in the history of lawsuits. The plaintiffs are raisin growers in the highlands seven miles northeast of this city. Adjoining their vineyard, the defendant has a bee ranch. The action was for damages which the plaintiffs claimed to have suffered in consequence of the frequent visitations of the defendant's bees to their grapes. In support of their claim, they introduced numerous witnesses who swore that they had, in various instances, witnessed with their own eyes the perforation and destruction of plaintiffs' grapes, when alighted upon by the busy, busy bee of the defendant. The latter, in turn, introduced evidence to show the impossibility of this condition of things. He proved by a score of witnesses, that the bill of the insect is tubular and not pointed, and can, therefore, be used only as an extractor of sweets, not as a borer after them. The evidence of the eye-witnesses of the plaintiffs, however, had the weight with the jury, and they accordingly returned a verdict against the defendant for $75 and costs of suit, which amount to over $60. The plaintiffs were represented by Curtis & Otis, and the Hon. H. M. Willis looked after the interests of the defendant.

A stay of proceedings has been asked for, and the case will probably be appealed. It is one of interest to bee-ranchers and raisin-growers, and is attracting much attention".
