The TnomSon-Laupheimer case involv-
ing damages on a horse trade, went to the
jury but they had failed TO agree when
court sdjourred st d. 10. last evening and
were dismissed. The only other C, Sc of
note was that of David F. Palmer vs.. the
Missouri Pacific Railrosd company, 10
which the plaintiff sought on appeal 10 re
cover damages for certain hogs killed by
the cars. The attorneys fought the case
with a vim worthy or a case involving sew
eraI thousand dollars and considerable
evidence as to the value of hogs
and The cspability Of farmers to Judge Of
their worth was ELECTED by the usual bull
dozing process which has unhappily be-
come only TOO common practice among
attorneys.
Col. Snoddy was somewhat set back by
ore of the witnesses, Mr.. Green, who be-
ing called TO the stand, was iHterroga'ed In
no mild terms by the attorney.
"What is your business ?" asked Col.
Snoddy.
81 have been trying for several years 10
learn how to farm" replied the granger
mildly.
"Do you know anything about hogs?"
Eyes, sir, / have owned few and know
they play havoc with newly planted corn
field If they happen to get in"
Are you good Judge OF stock when
you see iLw
az don't know, some people think am,
and some think not"
"Well, what is your opinion ?"
81 think cen tell a SOW pig from a
boar"
This seemed to satisfy the colonel and
the regular examination was allowed TO
proceed.
