SETTLEMENT OF THE RAILROAD CASE.
The case Of Brown d. Harper va. the
Iowa Railroad Contracting Company,
which has attracted much attention for
\ year past, was finely settled last week
The case was tried by Judge Isbell, no
jury being enpanelled; it occupied the
greater part Of four days. Messrs..
Child, Dudley and Preston appeared
for the Plaintiffs, and Messrs. Hender-
son, Conklin and Tyre!l for the Defen-
iants. The.testimony offered was con
flicting, and IN some instances most de-
cidedly so. The Plaintiffs sought
lien on the Railroad, they did not as
sumo to have filed their contract. The
main ground of the defense was, that
the Plaintiffs had. not furnished such
ties as they had contracted to deliver
The Court decided, however thar. mas.
much as Milo Smith, the authorized
Agent Of the Company, had accepted
the ties, that the Company was bound
to pay the contract price for them.
Judgment was accordingly given for
the amount claimed, less some. 500 or
$500 The Judgment amounting to
Slo,041, was paid off in cash, on Satur-
day morning. Cedar Valley Times.
