A Little Family Deal Straigh
ened Out by Judge Kerr.
In the cause of Edward A. Robert
against Stella S. O'Brien and others
Judge Otis has filed decision reciting
that Stella S. ~O'Brien and Mary j.
Avery are sisters of Robert. On March
Z. 1888. Mary j. Avery, Stella S. O'Brien
and Edward A. Robert each owned one
fifth interest in the south one-third of
lots 5, land z, of block IL, of st. Paul
proper. About March l, 1883. Robert, who
lived at Hot Springs, agreed to sell his
interest to Mrs. OBrien and Mrs. Avery
for the sum of $500, but no time was
fixed for the payment of the purchase
money. Joseph F. Avery acted as
agent for his wife and for Mrs. O'Brien
and Robert, but had no written author
ity to do so. Two nOtes-one for $1,000
due in five years and the other for $500
due in three years-Were executed by
Mrs. O'Brten and Mrs. Avery, payable
to Robert, and deposited with Joseph f.
Avery as agent. These notes were
afterwards given to Robert, who was
notified that no mortgage was given
to secure their pay ment. These notes
we're kept for six weeks by Robert,
when further negotiations were had, by
which Mrs. O'Brien and Mrs. Avery
were to convey to Robert certain real
estate at White Bear, to pay $1,000 cash
and to give their notes for S1S91.50 each,
in return tor his one-third interest in
the lots named. The deeds and notes
for this last negotiation were executed,
and the frst-named notes were surren
dered to Mrs. O'Brien and Mrs. Avery.
No mortgage was given to secure the
notes tor $1SS1.50. An attachment was
Issued against the real estate of
Mrs. O'Brien in favor of Leon t.
Chamberlln for S9,254.76, which is still
in force. AS a conclusion of law it is
found that Robert has no ground for
relief in this action. The court re-
fused to require Mrs. O'Brien to exc
cute mortgage on her property to Sc
cure her note to Robert tor 81 ,SS1.50 or
to declare it lien on her real estate.

SETTLED UP AT LAST.
Litigation Over the Selby Hill
Cable Accident Finally Con-
f,Iuded

Litigation Over the Selby Hill
Gable Accident Finally Con-
Guided.
The finale in the Selby avenue hill
cable car disaster litigatiOnS was reached
in the supreme court yesterday. All the
other cases had been adjusted, but this
one case went through the courts below
and the street railway company took an
appeal from the judgment to the high
est tribunal in the state. This was the
cause of Emma l.. ThorSon, respondent.
against the st. Paul City Railway COM
pany, appellants. 1t was on the calendar
for argument, and when it was regularly
reached, the counsel for the litlgants,
Messrs. Flandrau, SQulreS IL CutcheOn
for the plaintiff, and H. j. Horn for the
defendant, had the appeal dismissed,
explaining that the case had been set
tied by stipulation.
The catastrophe which provoked the
suit in question occurred Jan. q, 1888.
The passenger coach attached to the
grip was completely filled with passen-
gers. When coming down the steep
Selby avenue decline, the grip slipped,
and the brakes refused to work, and
the cars dashed down the hill to the
curve, where the grip jumped
the track and the coach was over
turned. One man was killed outright,
| Some twenty other passengers were Sc.
riously injured. Am ong the latter was
| Miss Thorson, of Milwaukee. She was
thrown against the stove and held there
by other passengers falling upon her in
the shock. She was horribly burned
and otherwise permanently injured.
Indeed, at first her life was despaired
of. She was removed by friends to the
Hotel Ryan. and it was not until March
II that she could be removed to her
home in Milwaukee. Miss Thorson's
attorneys brought an action in the dis
trict court to recover SIG, 2SS.30 damages
for the injuries sustained, clothing de
stroyed by the fire, and other expenses
attending her medical treatment. etc
A verdict was rendered for the plaintiff
giving her $500, and it was from this
that the appeal was taken to the su
preme court. The amount of the yer
dict will now be paid over.
