Mr.. L. w. Scott of Boston, is here this
week to look after the closing up of his
packing of '98 Wisconsin. His ware
house closed this week after five months
of steady work, during which something
over 1000 cases were table assorted.
An interesting point of law which is
said to have come up for the first time
in any court is now under consideration
by Municipal Judge Charles L. Fifeld.
1t is the case of Archie Reid against j.
R. Shook, Conway Bros, garnishee, and
E. Ell. Smith, implicated. The case was
tried Monday in the municipal court.
Mr.. Reid sued Shook and garnisheed
Conway Bros, on crop of tobacco sold
by Shook to Conway Bros, tobacco buy
ers of Edgerton. Smith now comes in
and makes the claim that he has chat
tie mortgage on six beds of tobacco
plants which were transplanted and
produced the crop raised by Shook and
sold to Conway Bros. The question now
is, does the chattle mortgage hold on the
crop after the plants have been taken
up and transplanted elsewhere. The
supreme court has held that crop can
not be mortgaged until it is in sight,
and not when it is in the ground and
not yet above the surface. Judge Fl
field has taken the case under advise
ment and will render a decision on
Monday of next week, June 26th. Hen
ry S. Sloan conducted the case for E. HI
Smith and Thos. S. Nolan for Archie

is known as bulk sweating, and this
process is being gone through with all
tobaccos handled in this house. On
the third floor the sizing, asserting and
packing are done, while the two lower
floors are being devoted to the storage OF
the cased tobaccos. The capacity of the
warehouse is estimated at about 1000
cases, this amount representing about
third of the Culton packing, which
amounts to nearly 10000 cases of Wis

Willie Sheffield, of Pineapple river,
was bitten by a rattlesnake late one
day last week, one fang striking him
in the hollow between the ankle and
the heel With a razor his father i'm
mediately lanced the bitten place as
deeply as he dared and let it bleed
freely. He then dosed his son with a
solution of ammonia, and held the
mouth of the ammonia bottle to the
wound for a period of thirty minutes,
after which the boy was placed under
the care of a physician. While he SUI
fered considerable pain, it was evident
that the prompt treatment of the faith

sons life. 1t will be well for others
