ond trial. which was allowed on his giving bail
| in $500. This was the most important case
tried during the term. Suit was brought to re-
cover damages for fraud in the sale of patent
| bed bottom, by deft. Kendrick to plf. who con-
yeyed to him his farm and other property and
notes therefor. Petition charged deft Thomp-
l~x.,.
defraud him, the PIN. Some time ago, plf.
brought suit against the same defts. to set aside
the deed TO Kendrick and from him to Thomp-
| son. The trial developed one Of the most stu
| pendous frauds that has ever been perpetrated
| in this community, and the verdict meets the
most hearty concurrence and appreciation of all
those who heard the trial and are acquainted
with the facts and circumstances of the case
This result will act as protection to our peo-
pie against the thousand and one worthless
swindling patent rights that have been hawked
about this county for the past few years, and vii
| teach those engaged in these swiLdling opera
| tions that Portage county is poor field for,
them to work in, and that Portage county juries
cannot be relied ON to sustain them in their ne
| farious transactions n. Stuart and E. D. Tay-
lor for plf.
