Game Warden Warmers suit against
W. P. billiard, for violating the state
game law, has been the subject of con-
siderable comment among the local
sportsmeH. The suit was first brought
about ten days ago, in the municipal
cOurt.and the amount asked therein was
5000. Mr. Hilliard demurred on the
ground that the suit should have been
brought in the district court, and that
the municipal court had no JuriSdic-
ton over the same, the amount upon
Judgment reaching over $500. This got
Dick Warner up on his dignity, and he
commenced the action all over again
yesterday. Instead of suing for the old
amount, however, he now proposes to
make billiards duck hunt cast him
IS, 800, or $50 for each and every duck
shot Mr.. Warner states in his COM
plant that between the 22d and 18th
day of March last, billiard killed seven
ty-tWo ducks contrary to chapter 142,
General Jaws of 1887, which prohibits
the killing of game and aquatic fowl
between Jan / and Sept. 10 of each
year. The law imposes a fine of
from SO to $50 for each and every of
Tense, and Mr.. Warner proposes to
mulct billiard to the full extent if pos
fible.
CREDITORS WANT SQUARE DEAL.
The creditors of Peter John Rich
wine, insolvent, petition the court to ap-
point receiver to take charge of the
lnsolvent's property not exempt by
law, and distribute the same for the
benefit of all his creditors. Richwine
was recently doing a general store
l.ncinacc of To1uar Mimi &c aIlanad
that within the sixty days last past,
Richwine, we'll knowing that he was
insolvent, has done acts whereby part
of his creditors will obtain unlawful
preferences over the others to whom he
is indebted. These the petitioners ask
the court to investigate and annul.
bringing the property so disposed
within the grasp of all creditors alike.
Richwine owes the petitioners, st. Paul
wholesalers, about $4,000. Judge Brill
issued an order to hear the petition on
April Is.

ploy OF the company at Minneapolis
junction, he was compelled and re-
quired to couple certain freight cars.

stating an amputation of several fin
gers. He claims that he sustained the
injuries through the negligence and
careleSsnesS on the part of the railroad

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
In granting defendants motion to
dismiss in the case of d. A. MoDfort
against j. L. Mabon and S. B. Mabon, his
wife, Judge Villas made a ruling yester-
day which is of particular interest to all
members of the bar. G. K. Otis, repre-
| senting the plaintiff, and S. F. Mark
| court yesterday morning to try the suit,
which is brought to recover certain
mining stock in the possession of
Mrs. Mabon upon Judgment
secured against her husband. Plain
| tiff brought suit on the old judg-
ment against the judgment debtor and
| his wife, to whom said debtor is alleged
| 10 have decided Sl0,S75 worth of Gold
| King mining stock while he was in
solvent, and, as is alleged, to defraud
his creditors. Defendants attorney
moved to dismiss on Ihe ground that the
proceeding was improper and that
plaintiff could not, as creditor, directly
| sue the third party for property it held
not proven to have beer by it obtained
| from second party under the circum-
stances of fraud, as alleged. Judge
| Villas granted the motion and dis
missed the case, virtually declaring
| the proper remedy to be what defend
ants counsel argued: That in order to
bring the property referred to within
the control and for the benefit of the
creditors, the mode of practice should
be supplemental proceedings upon exc
cution, and the appointment of re-
ceiver. he to bring the action against
hn Noyfx- hall nnrfyr 70
have been obtained from the debtor for
the purpose of fraud. The ruling is
contrary to that heretofore practiced in
this state, and therefore is of extreme
interest to attorneys, who will note its
validity as it is tested in the appellate
court, to which counsel says he will
take the question.
