ELOQUENCE AND PRESENTATION.
Twelve jurors with their coats Off sat
hopping the perspirations from their faces
while they listened to the eloquence OF eX-
Gov. Davis and II. w. Willis in Judge
LOchren'S court yesterday afternoon. The
case was an action for $25, 600 damages
brought by Wesley Hauptman, who lives in
North Minneapolis. against the Singer
Manufacturing company, alleging trespass
and assault. He purchased a sewing ma
chine from the company, exchanging an old
one for it, and was to pay the balance in
certain installments. These the company
claimed he did not meet and an agent went
to take the machine from him. The old
man resisted, and it was claimed
that the agent used both him
and his wife very roughly. Judge
Lochren in his charge said that according
to the contract between the parties the de-
PENDANT company had right to take the
machine, but could exercise no violence in
so doing. The jury returned verdict
giving the plaintig S245 damages.
MADAME BURNER AGAIN.
The suit of Frank B. Smith against the
Minneapolis Tribune was yesterday con-
tinued to Sept. 16, when it is to be tried
before struck jury. The plaintiff sues for
libel because of some statements made by
the paper in reporting the trial of Harriet
Burner. the procuress, with whom he was
made to have had some connection. Mrs.
Burner was yesterday brought from the
penitentiary at Saltwater. where she is
serving sentence, to appear as witness for
the defense. She claims to be able to make
damaging revelations concerning Smith,
whom she referred to during her trial as
the Nemesis that had caused all her trouble.
