ert l.. Dixon. known throughout the state
as the mustard seed case. will be ap-
pealed TO the Supreme court and the pa.
pers for such action are being prepared
The case has attracted wide attention
and ii is probable that no such ease has
ever been tried in the courts of this or
any other state before. Hoffman was IL
farmer living near the village of Silver
Lake in this county. In the spring of
1898 Hoffman and three .othcr farmers
went to the store kept by Dixon in the
village of Silver Lake and purchased 4
large quantity of seed supposed 10 bc
rape seed The seed was SOwn and came
M in due time. When the plant was cN-
amined it was found that all the farmers
had raised large crop of yellow
mustard. The plants went to seed and
when the season opened again the farm
ers discovered that their farms were w"l
sowed with the pest. The four men who
had bought the seed ut once brought Sui:
against the storekeeper. The trial lasted
a full week. but finally resulted in tho
plaintiffs being nonsuited.
