MRS. MARITIME WINS.
For Second Time the jury De-
Cides in her Favor.

The jury in the case Of T g..
Shove, a Minneapolis ticket broker
and insurance agent, assignee Of a
note claimed to have been the prop
erty OF w. F. Kyle, travelling
salesman, against Mrs. Ella j Mar
tine and w j. MARITIME, the latter
deceased, returned a verdict last
Thursday evening, after being out
90 minutes, in favor of the plaintiff,
for S78 and interest since Oct. 1st
1896.
The victory was a big one for
Mrs. MARITIME. Kyle claimed that
there was $3.50 and interest from
Oct. 1st, 1896, due him, Mrs. Mar
tine claimed that there was only $78
and interest, an amount which she
was willing to pay. The jury de-
#clared that she was right.
The trial last week was the sec
rs ri
5ond. At the November term the
jury returned verdict in favor Of
Mrs. MARITIME. A motion for a new
trial was made and granted, on ac-
count OF insufficient evidence on one
or two points.
The case was the outgrowth Of
partnership troubles. Kyle and
the late W g. MARITIME travelled for.
a Racine wooden house. They were
on commission. They we're also in
terested ina store in Cottonwood.
which Mrs. MARITIME conducted 1t
was agreed between them that the
commissions and profits would be
equally divided. Trouble aroseand
Kyle had an attorney, Mr.. McMa-
hon, go up from Minneapolis to pro-
tect his interests at Cottonwood.
After couple Of trips Mrs. MARITIME.
agreed to buy out Kyles interest in
the store, giving cash and notes for
the agreed price, it having been
orally stipulated that Kyle was to
collect the commissions due both
him and MARITIME from the Racine
house, and apply Mr.. Marines
half on the notes. The indebted
ness was soon reduced to about 1928,
and Mr.. MARITIME had $3.50 in com
coming to him to be APP
piled on this indebted The
note for the largest amount had
been IN the vault Of Attorney Nc
Mahon, but Ia some manner mys-
teriously disappeared about the.
time that the commission money
was to have been endorsed on it,
and turned up later in the hands of
Shove, the ticket broker and insur-
ance agent, with whom Kyle had
boarded. Mr.. Mcmahon was then
ia Cuba. The action to recover the
full amount was commenced and
shortly afterwards Mr.. MARITIME
passed away leaving Mrs. MARITIME
TO make the defense alone. But M +.
Mcmahon returned from Cuba about
this time and ann unced his willing
ness to give all the details Of the
transaction, So far as he knew, and
he has been an important witness
for Mrs. MARITIME on both trials.
The case was Vioiously fought By
the attorneys on either side, Messrs.
6. q Howard Of this city and i. N.

Mrs Marine for their espective
firms, and Messrs fierce 8 Harri-
