of estate of G. j. Geldart,
against The St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railroad Company, Judge
Kelly granted the railroad company's
motion for new trial. Geldart was

being struck by a post and thus thrown
under the cars. The administrator re-
covered $4,000 in the trial. Judge

ton he is of the opinion that the eyi-
dence does not sustain the verdict.

his days toll, and to his utter disap-
pOintment and aStOnishment, found the
doors of his home open, the place empty

pected wrinkle in his domestic affairs,
SO he made a hurried investigation and
found that his wife, being exceedingly
jealous of him, had determined to quit

surance she remained quiet up to last

anxious to get rid of her and that they
had better part. Tuesday she ske-
daddied, and now Mr. Woolsey is look
ing forward to the time when the dis
trict court will grant him divorce.
