In April, 1894, the late Dr. M. f..
Whalen was called upon to set a broken
| leg for Freeman Salisbury, sixteen
yearsold son of Lewis Salisbury. After
the doctors death Mr.. Salisbury filed
two claims against his estate, based on
alleged malpractice and unskillful work
In the setting of the broken limb One
claim was for $4,000 in favor of the
father for loss of services of the son;
the other was for ST., 900 for the boy him
sell, claimed by the father in the capacity
of guardian of his SON When the claims
came up FOR hearing before Judge
Heckert, no testimony was introduced
and they were disallowed An appeal
was taken to the circuit and the cases
were on the calendar for trial at the
present term Of court. When they
were reached, the claimant, becoming
satisfied that he could not, probably.
maintain his claim, submitted to
voluntary nOn-suiU in each case with

For some time past, several of Paw
Paws leading citizens have been in
correspondence with the manager of
the Nappanee Canning Co. of Nap.
panee, Ind, who is desirous of start
ing canning establishment in Paw
Paw before the opening of the fruit
and vegetable season. The establish
ment at Nappanee paid out last year

and there Is no reason why such
desirable state of affairs cannot be es.
tablished here, making an institution
far more valuable than any similar en-
terprise that can be carried out with
like amount of capital. 1t is desir-
ed to organize stock company capi-
talized at $4,000, which the gentleman
says will be sufficient. Farmers and
village people should alike be interest
ed in this project. Talk it, up, canvass
its benefits, and see how much money
yOn are willing To put into it. This is
something Paw Paw can have if she
wants 1t, and no better point for such
business could be found If sufficient
interest is manifested, the gentleman
from Nappanee will come here and
meet our citizens to talk business with
them.
In July, 1890, John W. Stuyvesant
began an action against his son-in law,
Calvin Wilcox, for damages alleged to
have been sustained by an assault and
battery claimed to have been committed
on his person by Wilcox. The trouble
originated, as such family troubles often
do, in a transfer of property from the
old folks in consideration of mainten-
ance and care to be given them i'm their
old age. The case was tried in Novem-
ber OF the same year and resulted in
verdict OF 81 ,2O0in favor of the plaintiff
Wilcox removed the case to the
supreme court, where it was reversed,
and, In June, 1891, sent back for new
trial. 1t has been on the calendar of
nearly every term of court since that
time, but has been continued, through
one pretext or another. until the pres
ent term, when it was tried, resulting in
a verdict for plaintiff of $500 and costs.
Since the first trial, Stuyvesant has
died and the suit was prosecuted by his
administrator. f.. X. Annable, Stuyve-
SAINTS first attorney, has removed to
California, and Osborn, Mills IL Master
were substituted in his place, the junior
member, s. + Master, Esq. conducting
the trial for the plaintiff l.. A. Tabor,
Esq who represented Wilcox in the
former trials, did not appear in
the present trial, and the defense
was conducted by Judge b. f Heckert
and Il. j Cavanaugh.
