A Strange Suit.

An Oklahoma merchant carelessly allowed a few castor beans to get mixed with, his oats. He probably thought nothing of it at the time, and sold the oats to a stable-keeper. Several of the horses to which the grain was fed sickened and died. Veterinary surgeons said it was the result of eating the castor beans. The stable-keep er sued for damages and the careless grain dealers were compelled, by order of the court, to pay $550.
