The republican tariff law has been

being discussed. As the measure
bears some six to seven hundred
items, it is not at all possible to
pass it as introduced. In fact some
twenty-five republicans In the house
are now protesting some features OF
the new law When it passes it will
probably not in the least resemble

The Orwell Case.

The case OF WhTTeu dRalhop OiN
we'll, ct al, is affirmed. In Novem-
Der, 1885, Timothy Gruwell living
in the northeast corner OF Phillips
county, Kansas, procured a loan OF
five hundred dollars on five years
time, through the Nebraska and Kan
sas Farm Loan Company of Red
Cloud, Nebraska, and he and bis
wife gave a mortgage upon their
farm to secure the payment OF the
same. For five years, Mr.. Gruwell
each six months paid the interest to
the company upon its demand, and
from the company received his coupon
interest notes back, duly cancelled,
and when the mortgage debt matured
in November, 1890, he paid the same
to the company at it's demand and re-
ceived from the company his receipt
for the same, and at the same time
the county promised to procure for
him the mortgage and note, duly
cancelled, but from time to time
thereafter, excused themselves for
failing to do so, on the plea that the
owner of the mortgage was away
from home. The only one that Mr.
Gruwell knew in this transaction
during all these years, and the only
one making any demand upon him
for the interest or principal, was the
company. Eight months after the pay
ment of the principal by Mr.. Cru
well, the company failed and it is
claimed that it never paid the money
TO the owner of the mortgage. In
April, 1894, A. d. Warren the owner
of the mortgage commenced in thu
district court Of Phillips county,
Kansas, an action against Gruwell
and wife to recover the said $500,
and the last Six months interest. In
this action James McNeny of Red
Cloud, Nebraska, and II. Frank Stin-
son Of Phlllipsburg, Kansas, appear
ed as the attorneys for Mr. Warren
and Judge W. H. Pratt Of Phillips
burg, Kansas, appeared as the attor-
ney for Mr.. Gruwell and wife. The
case was tried to a jury and the YER
dict of the jury and the Judgment oil
the Court was in favor of the Cru
wells. Mr.. Warren took the case uI
to the Kansas Court Of Appeals, on
petition in error, and on the 18th day
of this month that Court affirmed the
Judgment Of the District Court, and
by this decision Mr.. Gruwell will be
allowed to hold his home, the judg
ment of the Court being that the
company was during all these years
the agent of the holder of the mort
gage and notes. This decision Of
the Court is very just one and one
that will meet the hearty approval Of
justice.
Judge Pratt gave to this case much
attention and work, as be put in
months of hard study and research
Confronted by an adverse decision
by our own Supreme Court he car
ried the case through the Distrlc
Court to the Court of Appeals, ant
was successful in both. The cast
presented many fine points, and al
may be expected the Judge is muct
elated over his victory.
The case of Gilbert vs.. Nelson also
affirmed by the same Court, is basec
upon the general statement as thu
case reported above @. A. Lewis o
this city represented Mr.. Nelson, anC
feels that his case won solely upol
its merits, more than upon technica
grounds. Gases like the above viii
hereafter be avoided, as law recent
ly passed holds that payment to tn,
last owner Of record is payment o
the debt.
