Tuscola, I1L, May 14.—The trial of the Fairland fox hunters, which was brought by the Chicago Humane society against Henry Lewis and others, for cruelty to animals, occurred here yesterday, and the jury decided that so far as it was concerned the sportsmen could go on chasing and killing foxes. It returned a verdict of not guilty inside of ten minutes, seeming to agree with the counsel for the defense that killing animals wild by nature is no crime, and that the law was not made to cover such eases, and should not be construed that way. A. W. Thomas, a Chicago attorney, appeared for the society, and prosecuted the case vigorously.
