NUISANCES ; DISEASED AND DEAD ANIMALS. 359 



further specification of distance, has been held unreasonable 

 and void.^^^ 



Teamsters will be enjoined from spending their idle time 

 with their horses in front of private houses, so that noxious 

 odors are caused.^"" But the fact that excrement is depos- 

 ited in a street by horses tied to hitching-posts erected by a 

 city is no ground for an injunction against the maintenance 

 of the posts.^^" Where, however, hitching-posts are an ob- 

 struction and detrimental to the public health and conveni- 

 ence, it may become the duty of the municipal authorities to 

 remove them.^^^ 



The business of keeping a stallion for service in the princi- 

 pal parts of a village is, by reason of the indecent noises and 

 other offensive accompaniments, in its nature a nuisance 

 which may be enjoined.^®^ 



Whether bees are or are not a nuisance is to be judicially 

 determined in each case, and an ordinance which makes the 

 owning, keeping or raising them within city limits a nuisance 

 per se is too broad and is, therefore, invalid. ^^^ Where the 

 evidence showed that the defendants were keeping a large 

 number of hives of bees in a lot immediately adjoining the 

 plaintiff's dwelling-house and that at certain seasons they 

 were a source of great annoyance to him and his family, and 

 also that they could be removed without material difificulty to 

 a place where they would not disturb the neighbors, it was 

 held that the case was a proper one for a permanent injunc- 

 tion.2«*
