mitted by him tomitigate the amount
OF damage the plaintiff is required
to recover. If Wallbridge could
not insist upon such a rule of dam
ages | am unable to understand
how the defendants, who aided him
though unwittingly-in perpetrat-
ing the wrong, can stand in any
better position
On the question of transportation
charges the court says:
''The wheat having been by the
criminal act of Wallbridge trans
ported from Echo or Belview to
Minneapolis, the plaintiff is entitled
to take his property at the latter
place without being required to
compensate Wallbridge or anybody
who aided him in the wrongful
transportation of the property for
transportation charges.
Judge McGee brushes aside as
idle the contention of the defense
that the wheat tickets having been
assigned by the owners to the
plaintiff, he did not succeed to all
the rights of the assignors.

the rights of the plaintiff, = says
the court, and it would seem. that
there could be no doubt that to as
sumo to sell and dispose Of property
to third persons, and deliver to
them possession without disclosing
who their principal was, amounts to
exercising dominion inconsistent
with the rights of the plaintiff, or the
persons to whose rights be has sue
ceeded,
"This may work a hardship to
the defendants, but whether it does
or not, or what the Consequences
may be, is matter that does not
and ought not concern the court.
When it is determined what rule of
law is applicable to the case the
court ought to apply that rule and
let the consequences take care of
themselves.
The price of wheat being much
higher when demand was made in
July, than it was at the time the
wheat was shipped, the plaintiff de
manded that the measure of damage
be based on the July price, while
the defendants insisted that the
price at the time of shipment should
apply. Discussing the contention
Of the defense on this point, Judge
Nc ee says:
1T certainly seems to me that
that rule cannot be applied particu-
larly with reference to cereal pro-
ducts that form thd largest part of
the volume Of business in this State.
Clearly Wallbridge could not have
insisted upon any such rule, be-
cause, under his contract he was
bound to deliver on demand and
when demand was made. upon him
for the wheat he could not be heard
to say that he did not have it at that
time, for instance, July 9Th. when
wheat was worth about so bushel
he could not be heard to give as
a reason for failure to deliver it at
that time that he had stolen it the
preceding fall. To permit him to
do so would be to permit him to set

.DOLLIFF WINS OUT.
Commission Houses Must Pay for
Stored Wheat.

Attorney A. G. Dolliff of this
city received notice last Saturday
to the effect that Judge McGee of
Hennepin had just rendered de-
cision in the case of L. P. Dolliff VS..
Robbins & Warner, in which A. c..
Dolliff was one of the attorneys
for his father, and which was de-
ciied in favor of the latter. The
case involved about 1000 bushels
of wheat, which was placed in stOr-
age by number of parties in the
Wallbridge elevators at Belview
and Echo just before Wallbridge in
dulged in one of his periodical
breaks. This stored grain had all
been sent to the commission house
of Robbins & Warner, and when
Walter -dge refused to make good
the deficiency an action was brought
against the commission house for
the amount. By the decision the
commission house is made response
bic to the owner for grain stored in
a country elevator and shipped by
the proprietor to a third party on
representation that he was the own
er. and he fixes the measure of dam
ages on the basis of the market
price at the time the true owner
made demand for his property.
Judge McGee holds that it was
conversion. and 10 support of his
view he cites long line of decisions,
American aud English, quoting lib
orally therefrom, and dissects the
one adverse decision-Roach 4 Co.,
VS.. Turk & Hawkins-on which the
defense relied. The court assumes
that the defendants acted in good
faith, but says that ''in shipping
out the wheat in question without
the knowledge or consent of the
owners thereof, Wallbridge was
guilty Of felony
There was conversion OF that
property if the defendants exerted
dominion over it inconsistent with

here on Wednesday. of last week
and spent several days in looking
over as much of the grade as has
been. constructed between here and
Beaver Falls Mr.. Finch left for
DesMoines on Friday afternoon.
It appears that Mr.. Finch has aG-
vanced portion of the money al
ready used to further the enter

that there was not the least DOUBT
but what the road would be built.
He purports to be in commu nication
with the chief promoters Of the en-
terprise, who are now in the east
looking up the matter Of getting
money for constructing the line,
and that be has already been given
to understand that most of the mon
ey has been secured.
When work is to commence or.
any further details, Mr.. Finch is
not at liberty to State. but the
line will be built, said Mr.. Finch,
s'and the people here and the sec
tion Of the country through which
it runs, are going to be greatly
benefited. z

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Experiments ON Communication Be
tween Balloons Six Miles Apart
and One Mile High,

Experiments were lately made at Vi
emma on the possibility of communica-
ton between balloons and wireless
telegraphy, and they met with some
success. A captive balloon takes the
place of the tall mast as used in the
Marconi system. A copper wire is
stretched between it and the earth,
where the transmitting apparatus is
placed, the second balloon. which as
cends freely, carries the receiving in
strument and is furnished with wire
so feet long hanging downward from
the basket. The balloons received and
transmitted messages up to a distance
of six miles and at an elevation Of about
9 mile. OF course, the great difficulty
will be to establish transmitting sta
ton in free balloon, both on account
OF the weight of the necessary appar atusz
and also because there is danger Of
discharges from the powerful con-
.denser SO near the infammable gas Of
the balloon. Future experiments wiz.
be looked for with interest by all who
are engaged in making q study Of wire
less telegraphy.
