Cole Case POSTPONED.

Before adjourning the circuit court
last Friday, Judge Bennett heard the
motion of City Attorney Wieman that
the case of the city of Watertown,
APPELLANT, VS.. d. H. Beurhaus, William
Humphrey, Oscar A. Cole and Eliza
G. Cole, respondents, be dismissed
from the calendar. Mr.. Wieman ex-
planned that he had been instructed
to do this by the common council; that
an agreement had been entered be-
tween the city and the executors and
heirs of the Cole estate to the effect
that all litigation should cease, and
that, in view of all this, Mr.. Pease,
who brought the appeal really ap-
peared before the court without a
client, as the city had never ordered
the appeal taken and did not desire to
carry it on now. Judge Bennett evil
IDENTIFY looked at the matter in a diff
ferent light, for he ordered the case
continued to the next term, and in
his remarks concerning the case and
the city's action regarding the settle
ment is said to have waxed eloquent.
But what he said, we understand, was
not recorded, and therefore cannot be
reported The appeal, it will be re-
membered, was taken from the order
of Judge Grimm awarding attor-
neys' fees in the litigation and direct
ing their payment.

Held for Trial.

Edward Hapgood and James Miller
are the names upon Justice Lewis
docket of the two men who were
brought here from Rockford, ILL.,, last

were arraigned in court last Tuesday
on the charge of burglary and held for
trial in the circuit court.
The gentleman who made the COM
plant is Otto Roll, the well-known
Burnett merchant, whose store was
robbed of large quantity of goods on
the night of the 9th or 10th of June
last. Among the articles taken were
six suits Of clothes, eight felt hats and
eighteen pairs Of shoes. Shortly after
the burglary, Mr.. Roll read an account
of an attempt to hold up a freight
train at Rockford, Ill, by four men who
had a large quantity of goods in their
possession. The men were arrested
and taken to Rockford. Mr.. Roll went
downfthere and identified portion OF
the goods in their possession as those
taken from his store. The crooks
were wearing some of the clothing and
shoes.
AS they were under arrest in Illinois
for the attempted train robbery, Mr..
Roll could not get them until the
Illinois authorities were through with
them. Two of them were sent to

FORTY DOLLARS DAMAGES.
Amount Secured by William Behling
in His Trespass Suit

HI I1IS IreSpASS SUIT.
verdict ia the case of William
Behling VS.. the city OF Watertown ct
al. was given in circuit court at JEFF
ferson last Thursday, the trial having
begun the preceding day. The plain
tiff was awarded $40 damages by the
jury. Suit was brought last spring
to recover damages for the removal
of fence on the plaintiffs premises
in the Seventh ward. The fence, it
was supposed, upon the survey Of the
city engineer, was an obstruction to
William street and the board of public
works ordered it set back to the street
line established by the survey, which
was forthwith done by the then street
commissioner, n. Murphy. 1t was
afterward ascertained that the survey
was faulty and that the board or public
works was in error. Behling, through
his attorney, H. Pease, began on
action against the city and II. Bieber,
n. Thauer and A. E Needham as
members of the board of public works,
demanding $500 damages. Overtures
of settlement were made by the city,
but Behling would not listen to them.
He was offered $50 to withdraw the
suit, but he persisted in having it
come to trial and the result is that
merely nominal damages, about the
same amount as the city offered, were
secured. The total costs were about
$50, which we understand the plaintiff
must pay, City Attorney Wieman,
assisted by w. H. Rogers, of Fort
Atkinson, defended the action.

Death of Martin Cummings.

Martin Cummings departed this
life at his residence, 416 Washington
street, last Friday afternoon at
o'clock. The cause of death was a
complication Of stomach and liver
troubles, with which he had suffered
for two years past. Finding no re-
lief with the best of medical treat
ment, Mr.. Cummings gave up his
residence in Chicago last May and
came with his family to this city,
having in view the idea that change
of scene and climate might tend to
improved health, but all to no avail
The insidiOuS disease made rapid in
roads on his once robust constitution,
and the family and friends of the suf-
ferer knew all too well that the inev-
liable end was but a matter of time
Mr.. Cummings, conscious to the last
and resigned to his fate. passed peace
fully away surrounded by his family,
his aged mother and his brother,
John l.. Cummings. He was 40 years
of age, and is survived by his wife
(nee Miss Maggie Norton, to whom
hewas married some ten years ago.
and six children of tender age, who
in their bereavement have general
and heartfelt sympathy.
MIR. Cummings was the second son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Cummings,
early residents of this city, and he
claimed Watertown as his birthplace.
After being educated in our schools
the deceased went to Chicago and was
employed there several years in vari-
! Gus capacities. Then he removed to
| the East and was located for a long
time in New York City and Philadel-
phia as private secretary to Allen
Pinkerton. the noted detective. Later
he again came to Chicago and became
associated in the management of the
well-knOwn ThOmson's restaurant, of
which his elder brother, Andrew,
is the proprietor. Failing health
compelled his retirement from active
business two years since.
Mr.. Cummings was a gentleman of
many excellent qualities. He was
kind-hearted, generous, entertaining,
affable, courteous and obliging-
withal a most pleasant person to
meet. In his home life, too, he was
all that was to be desired, and here
particularly his loss will be severely
felt.
The funeral was held Monday
morning at 9 o'clock fromSt. Bernard's
church, the former pastor, Rev. P.
W. Condor, conducting the services.
The remains were laid to rest in St.
Bernard's cemetery.
