Judge Williston filed a decision yes
terday in the action of Christ Schrade
ct al. vs.. Ferdinand DornfeId ct al. This
action was tried last fall, and resulted
from Il disagreement among the mem
bers. OF st. Johns German Lutheran
church, situate few miles west OF this
city. Many years ago the ground upon
which the church now stands was pre-
scented to the congregation. The church
was built at a cost of over $1,000, and
subsequently handsome school build
ing was erected adjoining the
church. The congregation Joined
IN with the Buffalo synod, which
teaches that juvenile confession is alb
SOiutely necessary. Some OF the men,
-bers subsequently, adopted public con-
feSsion, which caused a decided split in
the congregation, many refusing TO at
tend services unless all worSIiiped ac-
cotding to the rules as laid down in the
Buffalo synod. They endeayored to
affect an amieable settlement, but to no
purpose, and the courts were resOrted
to, the plaintiffs seeking to eject the de-
PENDANTS from the premises. Judge
Williston'S decision is in favor of the
defendants, they to recover their costs
and disbursements. Much interest has
been taken in the final outcome of this
case, which was OF paramount impor-
lance to the German residents Of the
town of Oakdale.
An important decision was filed yes
terday by Judge WiliStOn in the action
OF j. G. Nelson, Jacob Bean and David
T0zer VS.. Austin L. jerks and c. p.
Holcombe, sheriff of Washington
county. In January, 1885, Mr.. jerks
obtained judgment against the Still
water Union Depot and Transfer COM
pany fer 81, 5l0.22, the value of certain
property on the corner of Chestnut and
Water streets, which had been sold by
George NJ. Brush, as receiver of the
Saltwater Street Railway company, to
L. III. Prince. who subsequently sold the
property to the transfer company. The
Judge decides that the plaintiffs are now
the owners in fee of the lands in the
complaint described, and are entitled to
the amount asked for. The amount in
yolved will probably result in the case
being taken to the supreme court.
