ODD DAMAGE SUIT
LIvERYMAN'S HORSE TO
WATER
FATHER SUES FOR $4,000
Judge Bum Directs Verdict for De-
PENDANT In Kuschke Case, 1t
Appearing That the Man
Is Too III to Work.

Judge Brill and jury yesterday were
engaged in hearing rather a peculiar dam
age action for personal injuries. The suit
is brought by one William Conley, who
is suing George and Ida Ritter for $1,000
damages for injuries sustained by his ten
year-old son while leading one of the. de-
PENDANTS horses.
The defendants operate livery stable,
and, according to the testimony offered
by the plaintiffs witnesses, they have
been in the habit of allowing the small
boys in the neighborhood to lead the
horses to a watering tank a few blocks
off.
1t has also been the habit of number
of precocious youths in the vicinity to
throw stones and other missiles at the
horses that the boys were leading. Such
was the ground for the action in this
case. The little boy had gone to Sunday
school on the afternoon of June 16 last
and on his way home saw a crowd Of
men around the defendants livery barn
pitching horseshoes He went over, and
shortly started for the watering place
with horse. A number of boys began
to throw stones, and the little boy was
either thrown to the ground by the horse
or kicked and sustained injuries of such
a nature as to compel him to go to a.
hospital for a number of weeks The
counsel for the plaintiff concluded his ar
gument at the adjournment last night
and the defendants counsel will be heard
this morning

SCHlFFMANN IS LUCKY
NARROWLY ESCAPED ARREST BY
GAME WARDEN.

Executive Agent Fullerton, of the state
game and fish commission, has received
a letter from Deputy Game Warden ).
A. Austin which, indicates that Fred T..
Schiffmann, of this city, recently had
narrow escape from arrest at Lake EMILY
for violations of sthe game laws. AUSTIN
received information some time ago to
the effect that Mr.. Schiffmann, was using
a large headlight on, his gasoline launch
on Lake Emily for the purpose of shoot
ing ducks He notified Mr.. Fullerton.
who directed him to verify the story, and
if he3eould secure evidence; to arrest Mr..
Schiffmann. Austin says that owing to
telegram sent from st. Paul Schiffmann
was warned and had the headlight re-
moved from the boat before the warden
arrived. st...s = n;
Austin recently captured 900 feet of gill
nets, which were in use in Lake Emily
contrary to laws; The fishermen, Gilman
Ha1vorsena and Otto: Naamun, were ar
rested and fined $50 and costs each.
Local deputy game wardens have with
in the past two days confiscated a num-
her of small LOTS of game, some intended
for. shipment outside the state and others
to points in the state. There were in all
about sixty birds, ducks, prairie chickens
and pheaSantS. One lot Of nine part
ridges were packed in a common wooden
pail and consigned to M. Gray, 24 South
Water street, Chicago, from M johnson,
ST. Paul. The destination would Indicate
that the birds were intended for a COM
mission house In Chicago, and the war
dens are inclined to believe that birds
nave been shipped quite extensively to
chicago in pals. Other lots seized. were
