VICTORY FOR KRIPP.
Given Possession of the Cigar
Stand at COL J Street.

The case of NJ Diepenbrock against
E. L. Kripp for damages in the sum OF
$3.50 for forcible entry and detainer of
the cigar stand in front of the latter's
place of business at Sixth and ]
streets, was tried before Superior
Judge Johnson yesterday, resulting in
a judgment for the defendant for costs.
Diepenbrock vacated the cigar stand
which he rented from Kripp, on Aug
ust I'd. Inasmuch as he had remained
one day after the first of the month.
Kripp collected a full months rent. On
August Oath Kripp decided to reopen
the stand, and was given notice by
Diepenbrock that the latters lease had
not expired, and that he proposed re-
opening the stand in September. Kripp
disregarded the notice and opened the
stand, and Diepenbrock brought suit
for $3.50 damages, contending that he
had not delivered possession of the
premises, and that at the time Kripp
reopened the stand he Diepenbrock,
still had possession of the cases. ETC.,
though all of his stock had been re-
moved.
Judge Johnson decided that the de-
livery of the premises was implied in
plaintiffs action when he vacated them.
and accordingly rendered judgment for
defendant for costs.
