the attorneys for the county, Messrs. Molo.
ney, Brewer and Stead. filed motion for An
appeal to the Appellate court on Wednesday,
which was granted by Judge Supp, This
action will delay the final decision perhaps
for year or two, for il reversed and remand
ed by the Appellate court, it will necessarily
be retired, and if Judge Supp's findings are
affirmed, the county will doubtless appeal to
the Supreme court

ant and moved for new trial.
During the moRth the circuit court will be
the most interesting portion Of the county.
On The llth the Bartels case will be tried,
and at its conclusion, States Attorney Blake
will have his hands full clearing away the
criminal cases.
The earliest heard will probably be the
murder case Felix Orsinger, who killed, or
is accused of killing, Wagner at La Sale The
defense in this suit will be that the death of
Wagner cannot be attributed directly to Or
singer as the blow struck was insufficient of
itself to cause death, but that the physical
condition of the man was of such character
that death might have resulted from mere
fall. Orsinger is still out on bali.
1Another case which will excite great inter-
est is that of the Santa Fe watchman who
killed Collins at Streator, in the fall.
The case against Jerry CAVITY for the at.
tempted killing of Rosche last fall will come
up. States Attorney Blake asked to be
excused from the prosecution of this suit,
because he had been Canty's lawyer and was
in possession of the latter's entire plan Of
defense, and were he to prosecute, CAVITY
would be placed in practically defeuseless
position. The court apl ointed NJ. T. Mo-
loney to prosecute.
The case Of Jacob Kiner against the city
of Marselles, has been on trial several days.
Kiner and his son we're driving across the
Msrseilles bridge in 1882, when one span
fell, and they with the team and wagon fell
into the river. Kiner claimed $4,000 dam
ages, while the village objected to just that
amount. The plaintiff testimony tended to
show that the boy was rendered nervous for
life by the shock and that the team of mules
which he was driving, was ruined. The vii
lage showed by physician, that the boy had
never been prescribed for for nervousness,
and by a horse doctor, that the mules were
