CIRCUIT COURT.
The regular July term of the Cooper
county circuit court has been in session in
BoonvilIe this week. Despite the hot
weather considerable business has been
transacted. Probably the most exciting
case tried SO far was that OF RhOds Wei
mer against Wash Eicheiberger. This was
a suit brought by Mrs. Weimer sgainst
Eichelberger for 5000 damages, the ORR
gin OF the snit being about as follows:
Some time in November, 1880, the defend
ant alleges. a son of the plaintiff met an
infant daughter Of the defendant on his
way to school and in the woods, upon
which little girl be committed a 6endish
and brutal outrage, tearing and decorating
her person in the most frightful manner
When defendent learned of this, he went to
the young mans father and told him,
whereupon Weimer said he would whip
the boy, and invited Eichelberger to see
the job we'll done. A month passed AWAY,
however, AID the whipping wasn't admin
istered, and accordingly one night Eichel
berger, with number of his friends and
neighbo r., went to the house of Weimer,
took the boy out and administered severe
cOwhiding TO him. In the attack on the
house and the scuffle that ensued,
the plaintiff, Rhoda Wilmer, alleges
that she received serious injuries, ior
which she asks damages in the sum of
$1,000. The case was tried before jury,
who found verdict for the defendant The
nit has attracted considerable interest, as
either defendant or plaintiff are related to
three-fourths of Pilot Grove township, in
which they live. Drafien h Williams
represented the defendant, and COsgrove
& Johnston the plaintiff.
The case of James III. Johnston against
school district in section 6, township 48,
range nineteen, for services as
attorney, which has been in
court for some time, was &C.
cided for plaintiff. A motion for q new

The case of r H. Nuettle against Scott
& Bottom, for balance due on q thresh-
ing machine, was won by plaintiff, securing
a verdict for $16357. A number of rail-
road cases were SEA for July 10Th and 10Th,
when Judge ]. p. Strosher, of Saline coun-
ty, will be in Boonville and act Is

as ainst A. n. Stacy and p. III. Blanchard,
agents of the Jacksonville Plow company,
for obtaining money by means Of a cheat"
