AMONG the adjourned Court Proceedings last
week. we find the following reported in the Daily,
which is of interest to our readers in the lower
end of the county:
'sJacob E. Strickler VS. John West. This was
an action of assumpsit. Jacob E. Strckler sued
John Weist for the sum Of $500, with interest
from sometime in The year 1868, which sum of
money he loaned to West West alleged that
he sold Strckler one hundredshares of stock of
the Baker Silver Mining Company, located some
where in Colorado for $50 a share, the par value
being 500 per share. Stricller was acting as
agent for the sale of stock foithe Comp my, and
was getting tired having met with poor success,
and was losing money by Incorporation. He al.
legged Weist gave him the siok to sell for the
Company and greed that he should keep all he
made above the $50 per share The question for
the jury to determine was lid Weist sell the
stock to Stricker, or did he give him the stock
at $50 per share to sell for The Company 1t
was a hard fought case. Tlr Jury rendered q
verdict for plaintiff for s44t2, SO, Boyer, Hill,
