About the most impOstant civil
suit on the calendar of the March
term of the district court was that
OF Edwin. H all against the Northern
Pacific Railway company. which
! was on trial yesterday. Hall lost
nearly all Of his household goods be-
eides considerable other personal
property by the depot fire last fail
His goods were in n car that was
wholly consumed. Mr.. Hall claims
to have tried to settle with the com.
pany. but they refused to allow him
nything. He then brought snit for
$4,000. This sum was thought 10y
many to be in excess Of the property
destroyed, and it is evident that the
jury shared that belief, for after he
ing out several hours they returned
a verdict of $500 for Mr.. Hall.
Speaking about the case today Mr..
Hall said that he expected larger
verdict. but was content with the
amount awarded him. Attorneys
and Others familiar with but not in
terested ic the case, claim that they
considered it just verdict, and one
that nearly covers MIR. Halls actual
loss. They also expressed the opinion
that it was much better to have this
verdict than larger one, for the
reason that they were Of the opinion
that the company would pay this
amount, and would, no doubt, have
appealed and caused Mr.. Hall CON-
siderable expense and trouble had
the verdict been for larger amount.
The suit Of August Lindblom
against Chas. Tanner followed the
Hall case. l.indblOm sued Tanner
for n balance claimed to be due on
house rent, and had garnisheed a
sum OF money due Tanner from the
Pine Tree Lumber company. The
only question for the jury to decide
was one of facts. LiDdblOm claimed
a balance due him Of about so, and
introduced a book account kept by
himself in support Of his claim.

Tanner claimed to have paid him all
ne owed him, and like his opponent,
had book account which cOrrobo-
rated his testimony. 1t was really
a question of veracity between the
plaintiff and defendant. The case
was first tried before Justice Shaw,
who gave q verdict in favor Of Tan
ner. 1t was also tried at the last
term Of the district court and the
Jury failed to agree. The case was
given to the jury ut about 10 O'Clock
this forenoon, and as they have not
vet reached a verdict another disa-
greement is probable.
The suit OF Rosa Karwatt against
G. w. Bouck is now on trial, and will
probably occupy the attention OF the
court the rest OF the day. 1t ia an
action brought by Mrs. Karwatt to
recover for some ca title which BOuck
levied upon to satisfy,a debt owed by
the plaintiffs husb8nd. She claims
the cattle were her property and not
her husbands.

will not be completed this week. and
the four criminal cases yet to be
tried. and perhaps some Civilizations
will not he called before next week.

EIGHTEEN INCHES OF SNOW.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, January 23-The
most severe blizzard which has visited
this city in years continued in its fury
until about six o'clock this morning. Snow
to the depth of eighteen inches has fallen
and with the wind blowing at the rate of
fifty miles per hour great drifts were
formed in all parts of the city, making
travel almost an impossibility. On several
lines Of street railway traffic was at a
standstill early in the night and only the
most prominent thorougnfares We're kept
open with the aid of powerful sweepers
until an hour before midnight when these
too, were stalled, so rapidly did the snow
drift
Railroad trains came in very irregularly
and only passenger trains, each with the
aid of several engines, attempted to get
through, those carrying freight being
abandoned Every telegraph wire in the
State was crippled and news from the out
side world was received over the long dis
lance telephone wires.
None of the boats of the different lines
entering Milwaukee ventured out last
night. So far as known, no mishaps in
the line of navigation are known to have
occurred.
Reports from railway offices tonight
are to the effect that all the lines have
been cleared of the big snow drifts and
trains of all Kinds are running on time.
but the street railway in this city is
somewhat crippled.
