MIR. SPRAGUE's EVIDENCE.
The Case Decided on the Theory That
Lloyd Said He Owned the Notes.

The Case Decided on the Theory That
Lloyd Said He Owned the Notes.
In the report of the trial in the United
States court of the case of the Brandon
(Vt) National Bank against A. Kaiser &
Bro. of Brunswick, as published in yester-
days Morning News, in which a verdict
for 5000 principal on two notes was rem
dered in favor of the plaintiff by instruc-
ton of the court, an error was made in
the statement of the plaintiffs case, which
had the statement been correct, might
have made the case take an entirely diff
ferent turn. The statement made was as
follows:
THE plaintiff proved by its president
that before the maturity of these notes
Lloyd brought them to the Sprague Ma
tional Bank and saw its president who
was also president of the Brandon bank
stating that he, as president of the Bruins
wick State Bank, held and owned these
notes and proposed that the Sprague Bank
help the Brunswick Bank by further ac-
commodation. Mr.. Sprague agreed to do
this, provided he would leave the notes
as collateral, not only for the Indebtedness
of the Brunswick bank to the Sprague
bank, but also as collateral for the indebt-
edness which Lloyd owed individually to
the Brandon Bank, and this was done"
What Mr.. Sprague did say was that
Lloyd told him he individually owned the
notes, which were presented as collateral
for Lloyds Indebtedness to the Brandon
Bank, as we'll as for that of the Brunswick
of Brooklyn. 1t was on this theory that
Judge Speer directed a verdict for the
plaintiff. The other theory of the case
would, of course, have made ii favora BILE
practically all admitted, this being the ma
terial point.

In Olden Times,

People used to dig such roots as dan
delion, rarsapalilla, yellow dock, ETC.,
etc., every spring and brew home made
root beer from them This home
made beer was used as tonic and bey-
erage by the whole family, just as
they could get the roots out of the
ground in the spring. Nowadays and
for many years past, Williams Root
Beer Extract has taken the place of
the root digging and brewing process,
as it saves a great deal of time and
trouble, and contains in concentrated
form all the valuable roots and herbs
that were used by the old folks years
ago.
The sale of Williams Root Beer
Extract has increased year by year,
until it has become a leading article in
thousands of stores, and many dealers
buy several gross at once, in order to
supply the large demand.
The fact that root beer was in de-
mand has led to the manufacture and
sale of many limitations Of root beer
that contain no roots. In buying root
beer extract you should buy the kind
that will will do the system. good, by
improving the appetite and aiding d.
gesllon. Williams Root Beer Ex-
tract can be relied upon, as it is the
production of the well known Drug
House, the Williams & Carleton Co.
of Hartford, Conn.
