asked Capt. Grobler to send his team for
it, but he would not do it. Then applica-
ton was made to the Captains son, Gus,
who also refused, but he loaned his team
to two men who did the work, and during
the moving the piano was broken. The
Grobler team having been used, Miss
Brooks claimed the owner was response
BILE for the damage. The case was tried
before Justice White and jury of six
men. Jacob c. Hendrickson appeared
for plaintiff; Charles K. Chambers for de-
PENDANT. A verdict of no cause of action
was rendered. The plaintiff then brought
suit against the son, Augustus B. Grobler
which case will be heard on Saturday.
