given credit for being one of the best
teachers, yet the uperintendents gave

REED LOSES HIS CASE.
Jury Sets Aside the Deed Given Ia
His Son.

The jury in the case Of Walker VS..
Reed brought in a verdict Wednes-
day for the plaintiff. Some years ago
N. c. Reed purchased farm from
Walker agreeing to pay $500 for the
same. The recent slump in real es-
tate made the price paid appear very
large and Reed decided to let the land
60. He endeavored to protect him
self from execution and decided an
SO-acre tract together with some per-
sonal property to his son, Sheridan.
The plaintiff brought action to have
the deed set aside and the jury de-
cided in his favor. This is the same
decision reached by Judge Moore
when the case was before him in
chambers sometime ago. Notice for
new trial has been given.
Wednesday after the testimony
was in and the instructions given to
the jury, the attorneys for Mrs. Pat
terson asked to have the case against
Commissioner j. A. Patterson dis
missed without prejudice, which the
court permitted. Mrs. Patterson
sought to gain possession of some cat
tie claimed by her The divorce pro-
ceedings instituted by her will be
heard Monday.
The case Of j. Nusz VS.. the Lanca-
shire Insurance company, in which
Nusz paid mortgage to parties
which the company claimed were not
authorized agents and which made no
return to them, was given to the jury
Wednesday. A verdict was returned In
favor Of Mr.. Nusz for 1865, the full
amount Of his claim.
Dickie vs. Flemming was continued
until the goth.
In the case Of the Rutland Savings
bank VS.. Smith Bros, Of Carlton, a
foreclosure suit, the Judge took same
under advisement.
Court has been occupied today with
the suit of Jeremiah Cuban vs.. Poor
Bros. Sometime ago Poor Bros.
shipped car Of horses to the eastern
markets, Mr.. Cuban wished to visit
his relatives in Canada, was provided
with pass and accompanied the
stock to its destination. He now sues
for wages for the trip.
The jury awarded Jermiah Cuban
in his suit against Poor Bros. 1878, |
but as he had been rendered $40 by |
the defendants in payment Of his
claim, the costs in the suit will have |
to paid by him, which will amount to
several times the amount received. |
The divorce case of Broadfoot VS..
Broadioot has been set for next Tues
day.
The case Of Forslund VS.. Hoffman is
on trial today.
The county attorney has made the
proper journal entries dismissing the
cases Of W. H. barrow and Robert

WAS SHE A FoRGERs
Sad story Told by Annie Peterson,
- Sentenced Yesterday

Annie Peterson, who was arrested Saturday
night by Officer Erickson, of the South side
police station, on charge of forgery was
fined s25 or thirty days in the municipal court
yesterday fer vagrancy. After sentence had
been imposed she told Matron Paine that she
pleaded not guilty, but had evidently been
misunderstood.SWhy the original charge was
withdrawn els not quite clear. The officers
evidently concluded that it would be easier
to secure conviction on the lesser charge.
Mrs. Petersons case is rather a sad one
and Mrs. Paine states that she is unquestion-
ably the victim of unfortunate circum-
stances. She says that her husband, who left
her some time ago and came to Minneapolis
induced her to come on to this city, saying
that he had found work and could easily sup
port the family. She arrived in the city about
a week ago with her three small children and
found too late that Peterson had played her
false; he was nowhere to be found. She
managed to do enough washing to secure
food and lodging for herself and little ones,
but spent her last cent Saturday morning and
could secure no more work. Then she remem-
bered check which her husband had given
her and she tried to pass 1t. The check proved
to have been forged, and she arrested.
She expressed a desire yesterday to get
back to Brainerd, where she has friends who
will at least see that she is provided for.
Matron Paine secured transportation from the
poor department for the woman and children,
and If Judge Kerr can be induced to withhold
sentence the unfortunates will be sent back
to Branerd.

a. M The board wished it understood that this

p. w. Edman Meets With a Very
Serious Accident.
p. w. Edman, a teamster in the employ OF
the Joseph M. Davis wholesale liquor house
at ia Second street north, sustained what
will probably prove a fatal accident about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Edman was at work about the elevator
shaft, and fell from the first floor to the
basement, distance of ten feet. He explained
the accident by saying that he was trying
to bring down the elevator when he slipped
and went headlong. He was unable to rise,
and DR.. G. M. Kistler found that the injured
man had sustained fracture of the spine
between the ninth and tenth dorsal ribs. He
was removed to his home at 1916 Washington
avenue south, and late last night was reported
resting comfortably, although under the IN
luence Of opiates
Dr. Kistler regards the injury as very
serious one. Usually such cases result IA
tally, and if the patient lives he is usually
permanently disabled. Edman has been in the
employ of the Davis company about eight
months.
