LAW COURT DECISIONS.
Two Important kennebec Cases Decided
~ the Supreme Court.


Tho supreme court. Saturday. handed
down tw0 important rcscripts The first
was the kcnnebcc county case of Mabel
q. Watson against y. NJ Card and 9th
crs. The opinion was written by Judge
Emery. The court said:
The bond i'll this case bears upon its
face an evident alteration in a material
part. the name of the obligcp. 1T was g
bond written with blanks left to be filled
by the attorney of the ohligors whenever
he should hc ready to deliver ii. Arnon5:
these blanks Was that for the name oi
The abIisoc. In tnat blank appears tn
surname Watson i'll the handwriting OF
the attorney. written with a gold pen, as
other blanks were filled in by him In
the space before the name Watson thus
written, some writing has evidently been
erased and the space written over with
the name Mabel o.
This last handwriting was unqueStion-
ably with a steel pen and was not writ
ten by the attorney.
Mabel q. Watson. the plaintiff. at the
trial wrote her name on Il slip of paper
for comparison. The resemblance is so
close that We have no doubt she wrote
the words Mabel O. in the bond. 1t is
also clear 70 US that she wrote the words
Mabel O.. in substitution for the name
of her husband which had been written
in the blank by the attorney.
The remaining question is was the
material alteration made with tho con-
sent of the obliGorS? The burden OF
was upon The plaintiff. There is abSo-
mtely no competent evidence in thu
affirmative. The opinion of Van Eftcn is
not evidence. The attorney testified that
no one but himself filled any blanks
while he had possession OF the bond, AM
that the words Mabel o. were not writ
ten by him.
The plaintiff and her husband, instead
Of confessins Tho truth that the words
Mabel O. were written by the plaintiff,
and tcStifyinE that IL was done with the
attorneys consent. both testify that she
did not write the words, and that they
were written by the attorney. We are
satisfied that This is not true. that she
did write the words and make the mate
rial alteration. and has not shown that
il was the obligor'S consent.
I'VE think the jury may have been car
ried away by the fear that the plaintiff
would otherwise lose her land or pay
ment for il. Such result may not
necessarily follow. II not paid for her
land perhaps she can resume it, Bat,
however that may be. there is one propo
Sition essential to this action of debt on
the bond that she has not sustained. viz.
The due explanation OF an evident mate
rial alteration IN the instrument sued
upon. For this reason the verdict must
be set aside. Motion sustained. Verdict
set aside
The second Kennebec county case was
that of Wilton Hunt against 4. VI. Card
and Others. Judge Emery wrote the opn-
ion. and judgment for the plaintiff for the
penal sum Of the bond was given, eXecu-
lion 10 Issue for the whole sum.

Revy OF Eastern Beauties Enroute to
Salt Lake CITY for Mormon WtYoa

Denver, Col, June "A carload of
young women who have been convert
ed to Mormonism and intend to mar
~ the followers of the prophet, pass
ed thru this city Thursday.
Evidently no homely girl need apply,
for the matrimonial contingent was re-
plete with good looks. Rosy checks
and sparkling eyes betokened the farm
girl in. most faces.
From every state in the Mississippi
yallye some of them had come, and all
were eager to arrive in Utah and set
tie down for life as the obedient wives
of prosperous Mormons.
Marriage in the east is becoming
"a farce said petite brunette. I
had three proposals last year, but I
said No. and spelled it in capitals.
Why? Reason enough. The men can't
support themselves, let alone wives.
Miss Jennie Hodges, a Peoria beauty,
speaking of the other twenty brides
elect, said: IF find no one to suit
me, won't get married. Young men
are becoming Mormons and going to
Utah from our state all the time.
There are not enough eligible men for
all the girls in the east. It's awful to
be an old maid.

TACKLED BY A THUG.
Hardin County Stockman Assaulted by
Thieves In Chicago.

Eldora, May pa dispatch from
Chicago gives an account of an assault
on one b. F. Baer, of Hayden, Iowa.
An attempt was made to rob the man
on a street car in Chicago. An inves-
tigation reveals the fact that the B. F.
Baer referred to is no other than Ben
F. Baer, of this county, who lives
about seven miles north of this city.
Mr.. Baer is one of Hardin county's
Oldest and wealthiest farmers. He had
just marketed two cars of fat cattle
and had the money, over $1,000, in his
pocket, and had taken street car
down town. When he took out his
pocketbook to pay his fare.a man sit
ting near by grabbed it and attempted
to jump from the car, but our old
farmer was too quick for him, for he
caught the thug and recovered his
pocketbook and was promptly knock
ed from the car by the thug, but still
retained his money. A cop came up
in time to capture the thug and he was
landed in Jail. Mr.. Baer was able to
appear in the police court the next
morning and identify the thug, who
proved to be a notorious Chicago crool,
named Ryan and well known to the
police. Next time, Ben says, he will!
put his money in the bank so as to
have both hands free to work with.

tions in Alaska, some of it probably
finding its final uses most acceptable
to the long and short cared equines of
the vicinity of Cape Nome.
Seattle has been competing with San
Francisco in many ways for Alaska
business. and in the matter of carrying
United States mails, contracts were
given both ports, for given amounts. 1t
now apears that the California city has
not received enough by far from all
creation to fill out it's contract, while
Seattle has accumulated a large over
plus. To even things up, several tons
of the Seattle accumularions have been
shipped to Frisco to help that city fill
its contract. Rather a roundabout
transaction, but Seattle is always ready
to lend a helping hand to less fortu-
nate tho more pretentious localities.
The y. w. C.. A. of Seattle is doing a
good work in caring for afriendless wo-
men who occasionally come here from

and they are properly cared for until
