DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

The Davidson divorce case came up
again yesterday morning, but Judge
Lochren finally dismissed the action,
concluding that neither the children of
the unhappy couple nor the public in
general would be benefited by separa-
ton. Both had been to blame, he
thought, and both must suffer each
others bonds.
Judge Hooker has ordered distribu-
ton of the funds III the hands of the
assignee of the inSolvent firm Of Ely &
Hambright. The amount to be divided
is about $1,000. There will still remain
real estate sufficient to add about 10 per
cent more to the total dividend. An
order of the same nature was issued i'll
the assignment of j. BunStein, the in
solvent shoe dealer, in which about
81, 800 will be distributed.
Deere & Co. have begun an action
against Samuel Copeland and wife to
set aside a deed in which they trans
ferred properly of the value of $1,000,
in order, it is claimed, to defeat a judg-
ment.
G. J. Henry and Vincent L. Gibson
have entered suit against Minnie Sinch-
elmer ct al. to collect S657, claimed to be
due as commission on real estate sale

ton is known as numbers 1919 to 1923

bank has been garniSheed in the action.
Judge Hooker took under advisement
a new motion in an old case, in which
the old inSolvent, Minneapolis West
Side street railway, figures. The order
was to show cause why a Judgment of
S2,7O0 against James German, secured
by G. w. Weidenhoff, should not be
opened, and the garnishee, which Is the
inSOlVent company, be made to dis
close. The idea is to hold the insolvent
members of the company for the debt.

was injured a year ago in front of the
stable, has settled his suit against the
street railway company tor 81 200. The

steam motors, and he sued for damages.
The jury disagreed at the first trial. 1t
is stated that the injured man is slightly
worse and may be crippled for life.
An application for a receiver was
made before Judge Hooker, in the sa-
loon property of j. X. OBrien, on Hen
nepin avenue. 1t was thought that the
parties interested could get on better
without a receiver if they would COM
promise a little, and the motion Will
be heard later. The motion was made
under foreclosure proceedings, to col
lect the rents for the property.

provement will be abandoned.
Judge Hicks made an order directing

tual Fire Insurance company. The re-
ceiver was also instructed to sell off the

cancellation of policies held by the
company, reissuing in other companies
its outstanding risks.
