late Division order Concerning Di-
vorce Petitions-other Court Matters.

A curious muddle came up In the Ions
dale suit today when the attorney for the
plaintiff, Mr.. West, was making
his closing appeal to the jury.
He stated that the amount
asked for was 5000 instead OF $4,000, as
previously alleged by defendants attorney.
Mr.. Vincent denied that there was any
mistake and said Mr.. West had changed
his mind as to the amount of damages he
wanted. An inspection OF the call
lendar showed that the original words
"s10, ,000r had been crossed out and "s50Oo"
inserted in place of them. The case
went to the jury at IL o'clock.
In Judge Wilbur's division no cases
were heard today, owing TO certain bitches
among counsel.
