action brought by s. Trebby against
the Western Insurance company, OF
Pittsburg, Pa. Trebby wanted pay
for looking up evidence for the COM

German fire in Parker town. The

In the mandamus proceedings to
compel Mayor Vasaly to show cause
for not signing the order for City At
torney Trebby's salary this case was
argued G. w. Stewart representing
the plaintiff andJ. II. Rhodes the de,
fendant. The plaintiff made q mo-
ton for judgment on the pleadings,
which was denied. The case will
now come up fer trial at some date
not yet fixed by the court.
A decree OF divorce was granted to
Ida Reineold against Marcellus
Reineold. The complaint alleged
desertion. The couple were residents
Of the northwest part OF the county
when the separation occurred. The
plaintiff is now living at Staples.
Mrs. Anna Shea was also granted
a decree of divorce from Chas. Shea
on the ground OF desertion. There
was no appearance on the part of
the defendant further than to see
that certain stipulations were
carried out. Mrs. Shea's maiden
name was Anna Heikle, and they
were married about two years ago.
They only lived together a week the
defendant claims, when her parents
enticed her to leave him and re-
turn home and that they also per-
suaded her not to return to him.
The complaint of the plaintiff
originally charged cruelty and other
charges that the defendant objected
to and the stipulation was that if all
of allegations but that of desertion be
eliminated from the complaint the
defendant would not appear to con-
test the action.
While two cases resulted in the
legal separation of mismatched
couples one action resulted in the
uniting Of one couple. Aug. Flecken-
stein, who was under arrest on a
charge of seduction under promise OF
marriage, decided that marriage
was the most satisfactory way to
settle the case. The complainantwas
Mary Nagel. Fleckenstein had pre-
viously secured license, it will be
remembered, but skipped out without
having the marriage ceremony per-
formed. This license was produced
and the couple went to Judge OF
Probate Richardson, who tied the
nuptual knot satisfactorily, and
peace is restored where recently war
existed between two quite prominent
families of Pierz over this affair.
Case No. IS, Pearl Hill. as admins
traitor, etc. VS.. p. H Neuman, was
also tried and decision rendered.
The plaintiff brought action to re-
cover the value OF horse which the
defendant had received. Tho defend
ant held mortgage against the
horse in question and another, the
property OF the late Lloyd Hill. He
accepted a proposition to take this
horse and release the mortgage. The
decision was in favor of the defend
ant.

the Pine Tree Lumber company,
twice tried, was settled out of court

ment against Peter karwatt, was
