HIGH COURT DECISIONS.
Rulings by the Supreme and Appel
late Tribunals.

The Appellate Court decided yesterday
that when a mortgage held by a corpora
ton is not released on being satisfied the
mortgage must sue the officers not
the corporation. This construction of the
statute providing a penalty for failure to
release mortgages that nave been paid was
given In the case of Michae Doyle against
the Southern Indiana Loan and Savings In
stitution. The trial court held that a cor
poration which holds a mortgage is a per
son" within the spirit OF the statute on the
subject, but was reversed by the higher
court.
The Appellate Court also decided that Del
aware township, in Ripley county, must pay
its proportion of the cost of replacing
two bridges over Ripley creek, the amount
being $50. The township resisted payment
on the ground, among others, that it had
not received due notice of the matter, but
the higher court held that q letter written
by the township trustee to the Board of
County Commissioners, notifying the board
that the bridges had been washed away and
should be replaced, was ample notice. The
statute requires townships to pay $50 of
the cost of repairing bridges, when such
amount is in excess of SIS.
The Appellate Court reversed a judgment
of the Rush County Circuit Court denying
Ida Windeler the right to damages from
the Rush County Fair Association on ac-
count of personal injuries received In a
strange manner while she was attending
the fair. Mrs. Windeler occupied a seat in
the grand stand during the progress of the
racing events. An accident on the track
caused a panic among the horses and one
OF them ran away, after throwing his driv-
er out of the sulkey. The frightened ami
NAL dashed through a gap in the fence and
came straight toward the grand stand. In
trying to escape from apparent danger
from the horse and sulkey, Mrs. Windeler
tripped on a bench and fell, sustaining GER
tain injuries for which she claimed dam
ages. The lower court thought the answers
TO special interrogatories, which accom-
panied the general verdict in Mrs. Winde-
ler's favor, overcame the verdict, but the
higher tribunal thought differently and sent
the case back with the statement that the
general verdict determined the PLAINTIFF =
right to recover and was not overcome by
the answers TO interrogatories.
The Supreme Court. in overruling the re-
tition for a rehearing yesterday in the case
of Fidelity Building and Saving Union, No.
4, against Virginia p. Smith. definitely de-
cided that when a building association gues
into liquidation, voluntary or involun-
tary, it losses its power to levy fines
and assessments and can only collect loans
with 6 per cent. simple interest.
