Iowa FALLS, Ia, April 15.-Hon. J.
H. Funk of this city has just won a
suit in the supreme court in which he
pleaded his own case. The circum-
.tances are peculiar, and the higher
court reverses the decision of the Dallas
county court. Mr.. Funk gave some
Perry parties note for 1898. When it
became due it was sent to bank in
this city for collection and paid. Ayear
or more later another note for the same
amount, date, etc., and in fact, iden.
tical to the one previously paid. was
presented for payment. Mr.. Funk
branded one as forgery, as he had
gwen but one note for the amount on
that date. 1t was impossible to deter
mine which was the original, but the
supposition was that he had paid the
counterfeit. In the Dallas county court
he was defeated and ordered to pay the
other note, but the supreme court held
that the intent was to give but the one
note, and, in view of these facts, pay
ment on the original cannot be en-
forced, since the duplicate has beer
