A suit brought by Arson Brothers, Of
Milwaukee, against the firm of e. Brown
& Co., was tried before Justice Mahoney
on the 10Th and Goth. Brown, owed An
son Brothers $3.50 before ]. M. Stebbins
went into partnership with him. After
the partnership was formed the firm
bought goods of the same parties and a
number Ofpayments were made. Arson
Brothers applied all the payments, except
$54. on Browns debts. Stebbins claimed
that the drafts were intended to pay the
debts of E. Brown & Co., not those of e.
Brown. Stebbins also claimed that he
agreed to pay debts of E. Brown to the
amount of $500, and had paid over
81 800 before he knew anything about
the claim of plaintiffs. Brown testified
that Stebbins agreed to pay all debts
when he sold out to him. This Steb-
bins denied. The case turned on the
question of the appropriation of pay
ments. The law says that when the
debtor does not signify where the pay
ments are to be applied the creditor may
apply it on whatever debt he may deem
tit. Judgment was rendered in favor of
Arson Brothers for 1924.

About IL o'clock Friday morning
Curt Reed, John Mcintyre and James
Maloney escaped from Jail. John
Hogan. Len Powers and two tug men
from Chicago, whose names we have
not learned, called to see them. They
asked Mrs. Wilson, at the front door, if
they could see them. Mrs. Wilson told
them there were no men folks at home
that morning. They then went in
through the Office door without her
knowledge, and it is supposed they took
the keys from the closet off the Office
and unlocked the outsidejail door. The
prisoners were in the hall at the time
Mrs. Wilson saw the prisoners going
away, and told Reed he had better hold
on. He paid no attention to her. Mrs.
Wilson ran out and told one of the tug
men TO notify the sheriff. He laughed
at her and went the other way. She
also saw Hogan on the corner opposite
the jail John Gillett was passing by
and Mrs. Wilson told him what had hap
pened, and asked him to go down town
and notify the sheriff, which he did.
The bunch of keys are usually in the
closet and the key of the closet was in
the door at the time. There are about
twenty-five keys in the bunch, and they
are too bulky and weighty to carry in
the pocket. The county should furnish
the sheriff safe to keep the keys in
As soon as the sheriff was notified he
started in search OF the prisoners. He
