At to-day's session Of the hastings court
tho time will be fixed for the trial of the in
dic.ments found yesterday, and 1t IS expected
that one of the first cases 10 be tried will be

this case is creating q great deal OF interest

their sympathy and offer assistance as coun-

court TO answer complaint OF his premises
being kept in improper condition. Besides
he Ind to appear IN the chancery court TO an
swer the complaints in two cases.
Mr.. J. A. Ludwig has instituted suit against
w S. Dashiell and j. l.. Ludwig. and also
separately against Mr.. Dashiell. The plain

latter is the party who charges Dashiell with
forging four negotiable notes. In neither
cnso has tho bill yet been filed. MIR. Dashiell
is administrator Of the estate of William Lud-
wig. deceased. whose brothers and heirs are
the Messrs Ludwig connected with the suits.
Presumably j. L. Ludwig will claim that
he has not received as much money as has
apparently been paid }. l.. Ludwig, and he
sues the latter and Mr.. Dashiell to obtain
what he believes to due him. His counsel is
Mr.. John Lewis Anderson. and the plaintiff
has thirty days 10 file bis bill.
On Saturday evening papers were served on
Mr. Dashiell in the suit in which ne and j.
L. Ludwig are co-defendants while the papers
in the other suit were served only yesterday

friends about his difficulties yesterday, rs
marked that he had nothing else TO do at
present than 20 answer summonses from the
courts during the week and attend church on
