 ENoLEHARDT ESTATE.
The Circuit Court Disposed of Mum erous Cases and Adjourned Sine Die-other News of
 the Courts.

The jury trying the case Of Mrs. F. l.. Lucas. in the Circuit Court. against Mary E. Englehardt. adminisT tfatrix. of W. E. Englehardt. deceas- cd, brought in a verdict yesterday af- ternoon for the plaintiff. for the prop erty sued for. The jury also assessed the damages for rents at $1,145.5o.
 This ended in this court one of the most stubbornly contested cases tried In some time. The case has been on trial five days and fifty-five witnesses were examined. Able counsel was em- ployed on both sides and every inch of ground was legally contested.
 It was alleged in the complaint that on March -25, 1895, w. B. Engiehardt made a mortgage for $2, 900 in favor of Mrs. F, l.. Lucas. The mortgage was foreclosed in 1897. At the sale 1t was announced that the mortgage would be resisted on the grounds that W. D. .Englehardt was insane at the time he executed the mortgage. Mrs. Lucas then became the purchaser of the prop erty and brought this suit of eject ment predicated on the mortgage exe- cuted in 1895.
 The case will no doubt be taken to the Supreme Court.
 The following other cases were dis posed of in the Circuit Court yester- day. after which the Court adjourned sine die.
