HOMESTEAD RIGHTS.
Judge DIbeli Gives His Ruling In the
Hughs-Mooney Case.

1
Judge Dbell gave his ruling in the
case of Hughs V. Mooney "Wednesday,
| The decision was elaborate and the
reading of it consumed fully a halt
hour. a number of the prominent at
torneys of the city were present. The
case was tried several weeks ago and
the court then took ii under advise
ment, aud the ruling of the court had
been awaited with much interest by
the legal fraternity, as several inter
esting points of law were involved.
The facts and the opinion of the court
are here, given in detail:
Gilbert & Co., of Utica, had got IA
! Judgment against MeSsrs. Edward
Mooney and Lawrence lughs, for
debt due by the latter firm to the
| former. HughS claimed he was secur-
| ity for the debt upon which judgment
was rendered, therefore he paid the
| Judgment and then filed bill in
Mooney, to his wife Elizabeth Mooney,
of the land in dispute and to subject
the land to the payment of the judg.-
ment rendered against Hughs and
Mooney by the Circuit Court. The
court rendered a decree accordingly,
but reserved to Mooney and wife IA
homestead in the property. There
was mortgage upon this land given
| by Mooney and his wife to King Il
Hamilton, for the sum of $1,000.
Hughs purchased this mortgage, for
the purpose of cutting off the home
stead right of Mooney and his wife,
on March |, 1889. He next filed a bill
in chancery, to foreclose the mortgage
and set up Judgment and asked the
court to grant him decree of strict
foreclosure, without a sale of the land,
thereby virtually turning Mooney
and his family out of their home with
out an opportunity to redeem the
property.
In rendering the decree in this case
the court held that Hughs is not
Ientitled to strict foreclosure OF the
mortgage; that Mooney and his family
have a homestead in the premises:
| that the statute of 1887 commands
that the property outside of the home
stead shall be sold first without re-
sorting to the sale of the homestead,
and that the homestead can be sold
only when the other property is in
sufficient to pay the mortgage debt.
The court ordered that the home
stead be set off and the other lands
sold first, and after the mortgage is
satisfied, whatever the property may
bring, over and above the amount OF
the mortgage shall be paid to Mooney
land his wife, to the extent OF $1,000.
No part of the money realized from the
sale shall be applied, upon the judg-
ment of Hughs, until after the home
stead money is paid.
The complainant asked the court to
allow him attorneys fees, but the
court held that the provisions in the
the mortgage do not warrant the court
in allowing attorneys fees to the COM
plainant.
Mr.. ID. b. Snow is attorney for
Hughs. and Nicholson and Seeley
represent the defendant.

They Traded Horses.

Wednesday Samuel Sparks, of Mar
settles, was in the city looking over
our advantages, not only as a business
center, but also as the recognized axle
upon which revolve intelligence,
liberality, enterprise and good looks.
Mr.. Sparks owns a horse, and meeting
Mr.. Geo. II. West, of Ottawa, a gentle
man who also owns horse, bantered
him for a trade. Both gentlemen,
feeling that they would like to better
their condition, concluded to trade
"unsght, unseen" The agreement
was entered into in the presence OF
Mr.. Nj. FOrmhalls, and the horses are
to be exchanged to-day: or, in case
either party backs out, he is to pay a
forfeit of $40. This announcement is
significant, in that neither OF the
parties ever saw the other mans horse.
Now for the pedigrees Of both horses:
Mr.. Sparks horse is, or was. alive
when he left him yesterday morning;
he could eat hay, providing "A blanket
is placed over him to keep the wind
from blowing it through his ribs
before he has time to digest it," The
report that he is 81 years old is prob
dDlN WlullDuI loulludJloll biu it ID VI"
enough to realize that ''life is too
short" to accomplish anything ,o'thou'
a foundation.
Mr.. Vests horse that's what he
calls him, but FREE TRADER re-
porter took the appariton to be the
equine skeleton that stands in Neterl-
nary Surgean WceSe's Office may have
been, in primitive times, IA substitute
for IA burlesque horse in picture
book. Both gentlemen, however, claim
their horses are "blooded" animals, at
least it is supposed there isstilla llttle
blood in the veins of each one. 1hey
also claimed that their horses have a
record Mr.. Sparks says his horse
made a mile in two hours and thirty
four minutes; and Mr. West says that
his horse has been known to make a
mile chip" in one hour and SIN
teen minutes, but acknow Lodges that
he walked ahead of him with "A peck
of oats. Mr.. Sparks don't know any,
thing about this bit of undermined
business on the part Of West, but then
it's their business, and they can settle
it. 1t is the business of the reporter
to give the facts, and the above is as
near to them as ii is possible to arrive
without the use Of a microscope.

methods of glass manufacture, and
when they had worked him for all

discharged him. This was in the year

VIM. Fisher Insane.

VIM. A. Fisher was adjudged insane
by jury in Judge Snyder's court on
Monday morning. He is subject to
epileptic fits and manifests hOmicidaI
tendencies. The complaint was made

been living at Medicine Lodge, Kan
sas. for the past ten years, and on last
