in Canton.

I
and T. ]. McNiry VS. the village OF ALI
ance These five gentlemen were
arrested for violating the prohibition
ordinance of Alliance and fined 500
and costs by Mayor Coxen. They car
ried their case to the Common Pleas
Court on error. Judge Raley held that
there was no error in the case OF b. r.
Mcdonald and the judgment OF the
lower court was affirmed. The other
four cases were reversed on the ground
that no second, third, or fourth otfense
was charged or proved, but as they
might charge first offense they were
remanded for trial. A DEMOCRAT re-
porter called on one of the defendants
after the decision was rendered and he
said that this would virtually end the
case against them.
Mary E. Lamielle was granted
divorce yesterday in Court Room No. z
from her husband, Henry j. Lamlelle
ON the ground of extreme cruelty. The
defense put in no appearance and the
decree was granted upon the payment
of costs. The plaintiff was also given
the custody of the child.
The case of Michael O'Brien vs.
Goodman g. Page for damages is being
tried in one of the jury rooms before d,
H. Fording, as referee. The action is
brought for balance due from the de-
PENDANTS to O'Brien for work done in
constructing the Ohio River Railroad
in West Virginia. The plaintiff is
represented by w. A, Lynch and the
defendants by Baldwin & Shields. The
case has taken five days and will likely
continue for three or four more.
Judge Thayer this morning received
the written opinion from Judge Mich
OILS in the case of Frederick Burness VS.
The Bolton Steel Co., which over-rules
the motion for new trial This is the
third trial that has been asked for.
The first trial of the case took place last
October and Mr.. Burness received a
verdict of $1,000 The defendants
counsel then filed and argued motion
for a new trial, which was subsequently
granted by Judge Raley. The case was
tried over a month ago for second
time in Court Room No. ?, and the jury
rendered verdict of 200 for plain
tiff. The defendants counsel again
filed motion for new trial, which
was argued before Judge Nichols last
week. The Judge wrote two opinions
and sent one to Judge Thayer, the
plaintiffs counsel, and the other to
Judge Day, the defendants counsel
He overrules the motion and renders
judgment on the verdict
In Court Room No. 2 the case of
Pritchard VS.. the Wrought Iron Bridge
company is being tried. In the year

ard claims that through negligence of a
fellow employe his hand was caught
by the lever of the machine and so
badly crushed as to necessitate the am

petition damages to the amount of
$1,000. ......
