The City Will Pay $500.

The city of Mankato will be called
upon to pay Henry l.. Guide $500, and
al! On account oi defective sidewalk.
Some three Years since Mr.. GUIDE while
walking down Front street and just
above Goodrich's liquor store, in block
10, stepped through hole IN the walk,
fell aud injured his back. He brought
suit against the city for damages and
got Judgment for $500. The city APP
pealed to the Supreme Court, and on
Tuesday Judge Giltilan rendered his
decision, affirming the Judgment. The
Judge holds that in an action against
u municipal corporation for an injury
caused by particular defect in Il side
walk evidence that Tor a considerable
time, the sidewalk. at and near the
place was generally in bad condition, is
competent to prove notice of the par
ticular defect"
Here, then, the city has Il lesson which
while it costs $500, may prove very
cheap If the admonition il affords is
needed. While there are some very
