Court Cases,
The next regular term of the supreme
court will be held in this city, III
mencing on May LIST. From the cases
now being filed in the clerks office it is
thought the term will be a large and i'm
portant one. Among the cases fled this
morning was n from Cass county en-
titled Vail VS.. The Town Of Armenia
This is an action for $500 0 damages
caused by the giving away of one of the
town bridges while a steam threshinp
outfit was crossing. The owner of the
engine was buried beneath the wreck
and suffered great pain and has been
permanently injured. A demurrer to
the complaint was interposed and sus.
tanned by the district court, the Judge
thereby deciding that the town was not
liable for such damages. The question
is new in both the territory and both
states and the decision will be awaited
with great interest. If it is the duty of
the different municipal bodies of the
state to erect bridges of sufficient
strength to carry the engines used in
%threshing grain they want to know it.
Minnie Riegi vs.. Phelps & Phelps
comes up from Walsh county and is an
action to recover the balance due her, as
she claims, on a promissory note which
she gave the defendants to collect. On
the note they collected the sum of 1869,
apd she claims to have received from the
collecting firm only s125, the rest being
retained as commission, etc.
Russell & Go. VS.. Amundson comes
from Barnes county and the plaintiff
claims possession of a threshing engine
by virtue of a mortgage filed in Wiscon-
sin. The defendant claimed possession
by virtue of a mechanics lien for repair
ing. Judgment for the defendant in the
district court and plaintiff appeals.
Hosmer VS.. Sheldon School District is
an appeal from Ransom county. The
plaintiff was engaged in teaching in the
city of Sheldon and dismissed school on
account of the room not being heated
properly and demanded of the district
that the defect be remedied. They did
not comply and the school was dismissed
for several days. The directors then
served notice on Hosmer that his resig-
nation would be accepted. He declined
and they "ired" him. He sues for his
wages for the term of the contract and
RECEIVERS judgment. The district appeals.
As badness makes one look prema-
turely old, 81 a full head of hair gives to
mature life the appearance OF youth. To
secure this and prevent the former,
Ayers Hair Vigor is confidently recon-
mended. Both ladies and gentlemen
prefer it to any other dressing.
