IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Agreement Reached in the Davis
Estate Case.
MATTER WAS CONTINUED
Suit for the Recovery of Jewels Al
legged to Be the Property of Susan
Mitchell-Susan Pearl APP
plies for Divorce.

In the suit of Ellen S. Cornue against
Henry A. Root and other heirs of the
Davis estate, an action for a division
of the real estate, stipulation has
been filed in court for dismissal, the
parties to the suit having reached some
agreement to arrive at the same object
intended by the action through another
suit brought few days ago wherein
Mr.. Root appears as plaintiff. In the
Cornue suit j. Fl. Leyson was appoint
ed receiver to collect the rents of the
property involved in the suit. Yester-
day Attorney James w. Forbis, repre-
senting the receiver, appeared in court
and entered an objection to the dismiss
sal of the suit before some provision
was made for the payment of the re-
ceiver and other costs. Judge Lindsay
said that in view of the fact that the
receiver was appointed upon the appli-
cation of the plaintiff, who now stipu-
lated for dismissal of the suit, the
case would not be dismissed until the
costs We're paid, and the matter was
continued for further hearing until
week from next Saturday.
A case of more or less interest. in
which Susan Mitchell is plaintiff and
PENDANT, was on trial before a jury in

Blumplkin obtained unlawful posses
sion, the inference being that the jew
elry was stolen from the plaintiff and
pawned to the defendant. The latter
claims that the jewelry was pawned
to him by Mrs. MitchelRs daughter, now
deceased. Mrs. Mitchell testified yester-
day that some of the jewelry was her
own and some of it she bought from her
daughter. The stuff disappeared, piece
or two at time, between 1892 and 1895.
