| The case of Frank Ewes VS.. Nathanie
White tried before Justice Gee last
week was appealed to the Circuit Court
on Saturday by the defendant. The
controversy is over the right of posses
sion and title to the sample ma,hine,
forms and patterns of the Cripple
Revenge Threshing Machine Co. of st.
Louis, Mich. Mr.. Ewes the patentee. of
the machine, claims the right of possess
sion and of the title. The defendant
claims title and that Ewes cannot main.
tain his case as he holds the property as
receiver Of the company The defend.
ant does not deny but that Ewes is
entitled TO possession under the contract
between the parties, but says he cannot
get it, claiming also that Ewes is a
co-partner with the rest, which would
defeat Ewes action. Ewes claims that
White holds the property personally
and not as receiver and that by virtue
of his written contract he is entitled 10
possession and whether he is a co. partner
or not cuts no figure in this case. and
denies being a co-partner under the con.
tract.

Company success, and would be pleased
to hear that the plant was running and

DIR. Bruske is pursuing a somewhat

making an especial appeal for scholar

success. a large number of students
will thus be added to our list and the
individual church feel more and closer
interest i'll the institution.
On Friday last the first semester's
work and examinations closed. All the
faculty were more than delighted with

are here for hard work and almost with
