Yesterday two very important cases were
heard before Judge McCluer of ChisagO
county. The first was q land case in which
the present occupants are cOntesting land
title claimed to be given in 1857. The other
case is OF still older date. In 1850 a road
was granted from Point Douglas, i'll this
county, to the st. Louis river, and it is de-
sired to find out whether that road is now
in existence. The cases will bring out
many law intricacies us well as research for
old deeds.

somewhat scratched. The horse only
moved a few steps when he stopped OF his
own accord.

suffering from consumption for several
years, was taking short drive in a buggy,
when she began to cough and moan. Being

the house, being assisted from the buggy by
young man named Walker. He seated
her, but in a few minutes she was dead.
Her death has been expected for some time.
Her husband was just leaving on the train
for the woods when he was stopped. She

Yesterday afternoon Judge Murdoch was
engaged in taking testimony as referee, ap-
pointed by State Attorney General Hahn, in

bermen's board Of exchange, to restrain
them from scaling or keeping record OF
logs scaled in this district. J. N. Searles
appears for Hospes, and Marsh 81 Clap p
for the respondent. The point wished to
be proven is. whether the Lumber exchange
has scaled logs, delivered scale bills and
made record of such scales. The greater
part of the members of the Lumber eX-
change, as well as the officers, will be ex-
amined. Mr.. Charles Bean was the last
witness examined last evening.
