SEIZED FOR DEBT.
Grace F. Gardeners Grievance
Against Business Firm.

Grace Fs Gar0nefS 9fleSanCe
Against Business Firm.
The case of Grace f. Gardner against
Minea & Wedge is again on trial be-
fore Judge Wilkin, having come up for
the second time on motion for new
trial. In the first trial the plaintiff won
the case and obtained Judgment for
81, 200 damages against the defendants.
Plaintiff asks for $4,000 damages for
unlawful seizure and search of her
household effects and home during the
month of June, 1888. She claims that
her husband, from whom she is now di-
vorced. was alleged by the defendants
to owe them sum of money
for rent of rooms on Dakota avenue,
and other obligations which he had in
Cured. During the aforesaid month
the defendants, under plea OF right by
virtue of chattel mortgage, which
they claimed plaintiffs husband had
executed and delivered to them to
liquidate his debt, took possession
of her home, seized and carried off
going so far as to take away her linen
garments and other clothing then in her
closets. At the time of the intrusion.
she declared and demonstrated to the
defendants her right to the goods by
producing and exhibiting a bill of sale
from her husband, dated prior to the
alleged mortgage, which conveyed TO
her the property seized. Notwith-
standing this. it is charged that. the de-
PENDANTS carried off the furniture and
ornaments of her home and refused to
give them up unless the Indebtedness
was paid. Mrs. Gardner occupied the
stand yesterday afternoon and wit
nesses for the defense will probably
testify to-day.

Ownership OF Valuable Real Es-

tate Settled in Court.
A long pending suit. involving valua-
BILE property in this county, in which
May Alice Banning and John A. Sabin
are the principals, was decided by by
Judge Brill yesterday. The former
sued to recover possession of the north
half of the northeast quarter of section
ID, town 29, range 22, Ramsey county,
which W. L. Banning held under quit
clam deed from one Armstrong, in
1859. The court, in handing down
It's decision, found as conclusions
of fact that the property in
dispute in 1858 was owned by Joseph E.
Fullerton, who placed mortgage upon
it for $1,000, Jacob r. Hall being the
mortgagee. In February, 1854, the
property was sold to d. A. j. Baker. In
1855 the Bank of Halloweli recovered
Judgment against Baker for large
amount, and an execution was issued
by the sheriff of Ramsey county, who
sold the property at public sale to c. G.
Washburn. n1S56 Washburn sold the
certificate of sale to Albert Armstrong,
Hall foreclosing his mortgage i'll the
meantime QS5O and buying it i'll at
$1,Se5. From this sale no redemption
was ever ffldQe. LII 1893 ATHSGTOuS
executed to w. L. Banning and j. }.
Knox quit-claim deed for all
his right title and interest in the land.
In 1861, Banning assigned to George
May all his real or personal prop
erty and after the creditors had real
lied upon everything available the said
May, as assignee, decided back the in
terest in the land since it could not be
applied as an available asset. About a
year ago the plaintiff, widow of BAN
ming, brought this present action
against the owner, and petitioned the
court for possession of the property and
damages for Withholding the same. As
conclusions of law the court found that
the defendant is The owner in fee simple
and that the plaintiff is entitled to moth
ing and ordered Judgment to be entered
accordingly.
