wUuld II he would build the fire, where
upon he pulled her out of bed, forced
her gIt doors and locked the door. He
paid.,t .surther attention to her piteous
appexl9 to be allowed to come In than
to swear at her. and she had to walk
over q mile to the poor house with no
other clothes than her night dress and
stockings and the thermometer twenty
degrees below zero. He feet were ter
ribly frozen, and some apprehension
was felt for her life, as she is several

Affirmed the Lower Court.
The Supreme Court has given a de-
cision In the case of A. III, Rision ct
al. of Huron VS.. Ira Davenport of New

Campbell Of the Fifth District. The
case involves the title to large num-
Der of tracts of land known as the John

peoTle in the vicinity of Huron.
Frauds were alleged and contests in
stituted against the entries, the result
being that the entries were cancelled
and the contestants given preference

settled upon and have been held and
cultivated for the past eight or ten
years. The Rislon suit was instituted
to clear the titles OF cloud upon them
by reason OF Davenport having made
loans upon the tracts, which loans were
never paid, and to recover payment
foreclosed the mortgages. Judge
Campbell's decision was that the mort
cages should be paid and the land was

standing the cancellation of the entries
or the fact that final proof was irregu-
larly or fraudulently made. This de-
cision has been sustained by the higher
court, but whether or not there are
some provisions remains to be seen.
There are thirty or more tracts in the
immediate vicinity Of Huron affected
by the decision, but the h ,lders of
them appear not to he at all disturbed,
and will take advantage Of any loop,
hole that may be left for the removal
of the cloud to title.
