Doings In the Courts.


Baldwin & Shields, representing AL
bert l.. Klaus, have commenced suit in
common pleas court asking for the ap-
pointment of a receiver to take charge
of the business of the Fulton Pit Car
company of Canal Fulton. The de-
PENDANTS named in the action are An
drew and George Schrock. The plain
tiff, Klaus, recites that last November
he entered into partnership with the
Shrocks to conduct the business Of the
company. He furnished a lot Of mate
rial and turned over the manufacturing
business he was then running in Canal
Fulton and each put in $1,000 in cash.
The agreement was that each man was
to have a third interest in the business
and the plaintiff was to run the office
and the others the shop. According to
the petition, after a few weeks the
Shrocks ousted the plaintiff and refused
to let him have anything to do with the
business. In fact, he says they threw
him out Of the shop bodily last Februa-
ry and threatened him II he ever came
back. For these things he wants a re-
ceiver to take the business, sell 1t out
and divide the proceeds.
SON DID NOT SETTLE.
Anna German is in court with a petit
tion for the recovery of $3.50 from her
son, Thomas A. German. The petition
was filed by Sterling & Braucher. The
plaintiff alleges that her son collected
note belonging to her amounting to
1888 and that he never turned over the
cash. She therefore sues to compel him
to settle.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
Judge Taylor went home to Carrollton
Tuesday and does not expect to return
this week. Next week he will be busy
with cases in Carrollton. Before leav-
ing Wednesday afternoon he took up
| and heard the divorce petition of Sadie
Loretta Sutton VS. Charles z. Sutton.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torney Upham. The defendant made no
opposition. The proof showed that the
husband has been neglectful and cruel
| and the court decided that a divorce
should be granted. q.
PETITION ALL RIGHT.
In the case Of John Rinehart against
| The East Ohio Gas company, in which
| he claims damages because the COM
pany put in leaky pipes in his house
| and allowed gas to escape, thereby kill
| ing his canary bird and making his
family sick, Judge McCarty handed
down decision on the motion of the
defenseto have the causes of action sep
arated.The court said the petition was
all right as 1t was.
SLANDER CASE UP.
| Judge McCarty Thursday morning
gave the slander case of Mrs. Isaiah
Freed against Thomas Haynam ano-
ther turn. Mr.. Welty, representing
| the defendant had filed a demurrer to
the petition, alleging that the language
of the petition was not such as to be
libelous necessarily. The petition had
charged, among other things, that Hay
nam had said that the plaintiff had been
considerably talked about; that Jim
Haynam and other men had been going
there. The court held that the inuendo
in such remarks was such that it might
be sanderous and he refused to dis
miss the petition by sustaining the de-
murrer.

| Mary Fotch, through her attorney
James A. Rice, sued her husband John
d. Fotch in common pleas court Thurs

We're married in 1892, bur from the time
| of the marriage till the present her hus-
band has neglected to provide for her,

months she had become so weak and
emaciated from abuse and lack of
