md DIR. Roup, of Reading, have
,een here as witnesses OF, parties to :.
Iuits. DIR. Roup obtained 3 Judge :
nent of nearly $500 against rail- :
road leading to this city for tne
loss OF his household goods when ;,
he moved to Kansas in 1872. Our u
friend ]. l.. Coffman who was the
defendant In three of the Gray noat
suits also gained his case. If the q
Emporia suit should go in the same
way as that of the CoHman suit we g
are afraid Mr. Gray's occupation
will be gone, and he will have to
seek other fields of enterprise Tor
his grasping inteilect- A suit IN
which Bates and Perley were de-
PENDANTS and in which 3 certain
steam wagon figured, was decided
fortunately for them. The ease In
which E. r. Holderman and C. d.
North were interested went over
TO the next term of the court.
The case of the United States
against Col. C. Il. Jennison, after
being in court for three years, was

ing q verdict of mot guilty" after
being out only abOnt two minutes.
The suit was brought against Jen-
nison on a charge of false swearing
to a bill of goods destroyed by his
regiment at Independence, during
J the war. The prosecution failed to
prove anything against him, aud
under the instructions of Judge
Miller, rendered the verdict without
. hesitancy.
