NO LONGER HER GUARDIAN.
Abby Thompson Is Not Vow Ward
of William.


Judge Brill filed a decision yesterday
that finally settles the Abby Thompson
guardianship case-sa The decision af-
firms the order of the probate court
of Dakota county sremoving William
Thompson as the guardian of his niece
Abby, aged IT,
The court reviews all the facts and
proceedings in the CASE which has been
before the public For snearly a year.
After reciting how Thompson had first
attempted to secu1e f4le commitment
of Abby to the. states training school
for girls. and falling ID that, how he
had succeeded in hla6ing her in the
house of the Good &6eBherd where she
was assigned to the reformatory de-
partment and consequently came into
contact with the Maynard inmates, the
court decides that Mr.. Thompson is an
unsuitable person to be the guardian
of Abby Thompson. The concluding
language of Judge Bri11's opinion is:
The attempt to have her committed to
the reform school with the accompanying
indignity to which she was subjected, and
the placing of her in the reformatory depart
ment of the House OF the Good Shepard were
entirely unjustifabfe and improper and were
gross breaches or her guardians duty to her.

uttering forged paper. The complaint
was made by Lemuel Petit, who al
leges that on August g. 1895, Hall OBJ
tanned from w. H. Brown $30.25 on
railroad rebate fare ticket which was
made payable to Petit. Hall, it ap-
pears, at the time the alleged offense
was committed, had a refund fare
ticket for the amount mentioned, and
signed Pettit's name to the same and
had it cashed at the boarding house of
w. H. Brown, in the midway district
The case was continued for a week
and Hall gave bonds in the sum of
$1,000 for his appearance. The bonds
were signed by William Cunningham
and P. J. Gleason. Hall says the ar
rest is the result of a partnership deal
and that there was nothing criminal in
the action.

Judge Otis Declares In Favor of
Plaintiff Kent.

Judge Otis handed down a decision
yesterday in a case that recalls an in

G. Brady and Thomas Connors. The
case is that of w. H. Kent against
Sheriff Chapel. 1t seems that in 1893
Connors recovered a judgment against
Brady for $457 damages for assault
Connors thereupon assigned the judg-
ment to w. II. Kent, the plaintiff in
the present action. Sheriff Chapel col
lected the money on execution, but did
not turn it over to Kent. Instead, &C
cording to the memorandum of the
court, he unlawfully applied it to the
satisfaction of other judgments, sub
'sequently recovered against Connors.
It SO happened that Brady had bought
these judgments and consequently he
got the money back that he had paid to
satisfy the Connors Judgment against
himself

judgment against the sheriff for $463.
