The Sunday SentinePs Beaver Dam
correspondent says:
"The topic of the day is the discus
sion of Judge NeWman's decision. and
is made doubly interesting by reason of
this being the home of Mr.. McFetridoe.
People are very free in expressing
their opinions, and many intelligent
Democrats that are neither office seek
ers nor office holders declare Judge
NeWman's decision a very faulty one
which will very likely be reversed by
the supreme court The Sentinel edi-
torlals Of this week voice their senti-
ments exactly. Mr.. McFetridge SAYS
the case is far from being final"

The $50 acre farm of VIM. G. Cody,
situated in the Fifth ward of the city
Watertown, was sold on execution sale
by Sheriff G. A. Hart on Saturday last.
The real estate was sold by virtue ofan
execution, to satisfy certain judgment
rendered in the Circuit court, on the
10th day of February, 1891, in the action
entitled, "W. g. Cody VS.. Clarence
Brown" dismissing the action and rem
dering judgment against the plaintiff
for the defendant, costs of and in the
action, which were subsequently taxed
and adjusted at the sum of $29.9S and
entered. A few days prior to the sale
Cody procured an injunctional order
enjoining the sheriff from proceeding
with the sale on the ground that the
Judgment of dismissal was not obtained
by due process of law, and that the ac-
crued costs were not taxed in the man
ner prescribed by statute. Upon ex-
animation the said order was found to
be erroneous and of no force or effort,
and the sale took place as advertised.
James Hall, of Watertown, purchased
the land for the sum Of $4,000, that be-
ing the amount of judgment and the
subsequent cost incurred. Juneau TeIe-
