Several More Cases Dis
posed Of by Judge
.cc Searle. ~ ..


witt VS.. Fred Stangr came up for
trial Thursday. 1t seems that some
time ago WachlOrowitz left a deed
conveying property to him with
Stangl, deputy register Of deeds, for
recording. but as the taxes were not
paid the deed could not be recorded.
Afterwards the party who decided
the land to Wachlorowitz gave a
quit claim deed to another party
who paid the taxes and had the
deed recorded. WachlorOwitz
thought Stangl was to blame for
not filing his deed, but no one
seemed to agree with him. When
the facts were developed in the trial
the case was dismissed. There was
no ground whatever for any action
against Stangl in the matter.
In the case of Chas. Gravel VS..
Francis GreEier the dispute was
over accounts. Gravel had furnished
Grenier with supplies and. the latter
had logged for him. 1t was a case
that referee could figure on at his
leisure, 80 the case will be heard be-
fore E. p. Adams, referee.
The jury in the case of the state VS..
Grell brought in verdict against
the defendant. The complaint al
legged that VIM. Grell, Jr., was the
father of Miss Brausen sfour months
old child. Judge Baxter decided
that Grell should pay the costs of
the action amounting to about $77,
should pay Miss Brausen $40 for ex-
penses with the child up to the
present time, and pay $S a month
for the support of the child hereafter.
In the case of Bronberg VS.. BATCH
eldor, the plaintiff secured a judy
ment for $103.
It will be recalled that when the
case of the state VS.. Mrs. Kedrowski
was called she was not present, and
her bail of 500 was declared for
feited. She appeared later, and Fri
day Judge Searle set aside the order
FORGETTING the bail il she pays the ex-
penses of the witnesses who were
here-amount $40.
A petition is being circulated ask
ing Gov. Clough to pardon from the
3O-day sentence Frank Mischke and
Joseph Hortsch, the Buchanan town
men who pleaded guilty to selling
liquor without license. They will
pay their fines of $75 each, but are
anxious to escape the Jail penalty.
There are other indictments against
these parties for the same offense,
and it is not probable that they will
continue the business. 1t has been
pretty thoroughly established this
year that those who illegally sell in
toxicating liquors will be punished
for it, and it is only a question OF a
term or two more OF court before
the offenders will stop it. Under the
circumstances of the Hortsch and
Mischke cases there will be little, if
any, objection to their escaping the
jail sentence. The county is not
anxious to board them for several
weeks, when their behavior can be
pretty safely Influenced by several
other indictments.
The jury in the case ofC. G. Bowers
VS.. Martha Brown brought in a
verdict Friday night in favor OF the
defendant.
In the case of the Duplex Windmill
Co. VS.. Robert Roche the jury gave
the plaintiff a verdict for $146.25.
The jury acquitted Walter Hall
from the charge of stealing turkeys
from a neighbor on Green Prairie.
Monday m forming the case of W. H.
Workman VS.. Haines & Stone was
to come up, but since the unsuccess-
full effort of the defendants attorneys
to have the Smalleys made a party
to the suit, there was apparently no
hope to defeat the case. The answer
of the defendants was therefore
withdrawn, and the plaintiff given
Judgment for something over 5000.
The dispute was over money due
Workman from Haines & Stone in
one of the numerous deals connected
with the ownership of the Little
Falls Herald.
The case of D. S. Mooers vs.. the N.
p. r. r. company came up Monday
for trial. Lindbergh, Blanchard &
Lindbergh were attorneys for plain
tiff and G. L. Baxter for defendant.
A train on the Northern Pacific killed
four horses belonging to Mooers on
April IL, 1898. No settlement could
be obtained, and a suit for $775 was
tried in this court in March, 1884.
A verdict for Mooers for $3.50 was
obtained. The railroad company
secured a new trial, and the case got
before jury again this term. l~,
Testimony was taken in the case
during the forenoon, and the LAWYERS
