Judge Clementsun has sent to
jerks 4 Jones, attorneys at Dodge
Vile, his decision in the case OF Tre-
loar VS.. Osborn, of Linden as follows:
In the ease of Treloar vs.. Osborn,
my decision is in favor Of the defend
ant. The note in suit regard as the
individual note of Taylor as far as
this defendant is concerned. The de-
fendant had dissolved his connection
with the Economy Store company II
year before the note was given. He
had in no way authorized the giving
of the note. He was ignorant of its eX-
ecution, and in lending the money to
Taylor, the payee of the note did not
to any extent rely upon the defend
ant for its repayment.
The defendant was not stock
holder Of the corporation when the
note was given, and he is not in any
way estopped to deny his liability
upon 1t. Truly yours,
GRO. CLEMENTsoN,
The effect of the decision Is that
the heirs OF Mary Treloar will lose
the money loaned, 81 400, with inter
est amounting TO $1,000,

JOSEpH IA KkEK.

Only three weeks ago the TRIBUNE
mentioned this veterans presence in
Mineral Point, when many friends
congratulated him upon his appar-
ent recovery from serious Illness.
Therefore, when the intelligence
came last Thursday that he was dead
it was a sad surprise to his friends
and comrades in this vicinity. Death
came on Wednesday, Jan. n, the i'm
mediate cause being a slight injury
to his hand which resulted in blood
poisoning.
Most OF Joe Harker's life was spent
in MifiIin. He came 20 the town with
his parents when a small boy, In

Attacked by a Vicious Stallion.

One day last week Mr.. j. w. Reese,
a well known farmer of the town of
Mineral Point, was almost killed by u
stallion in his barn yard. Mr.. II. had
harnessed the horse in the stable, and
was about to put the bride on him,
having removed the halter, when
the brute gripped him by the left
arm above the elbow with its teeth,
tossed him against the ceiling Of the
stable, and then backing out of the
stall carried the man by his arm into
the stable yard. Continuing the ter
rible grip on the mans arm the horse
got down upon his knees, trying to
crush his victim. All the time the
horse kept up savage whinneying,
which, attracted a large mare in the
yard ,fand rushing up she began
kicking the horse furiously in the
side. This doubtless saved Mr..
Reese's life, as the horse let go Of
him and turned to fight the mare,
when Mr.. Reese got away through a
fence.
DR.. Mcdonald was called and found
Mr.. Reese with shoulder dislocated
an arm badly lacerated, and suffer
ing from the severe shaking and
bruising, but no injury of necessar-
lily permanent character.
The horse was known to be vicious
before, and Mr.. Reese, who is an ex-
ceptionally good horseman, seldom
allowed anyone else to handle him.
BY this prank his death warrant was
sealed. The same evening he was
a dead stallion. The mare that in
terfefed and saved her masters life
will be the pet of the farm to the end
of her days.
The Y. j. :. G. Il. meeting will be
