ATTORNEYS FAITH IN A
NEWSPAPER SHATTERED
w. E. Dodge Amazed at Its Report of a
Case In Which He Is En-
gagged.

Judge Lewis, in the district court, yes
terday was called on to decide a, legal
battle between counsel for the parties in
the action Of Michael E. Scott against
the Eastern Railway of Minnesota The
suit was brought to recover $50, 600 dam
ages for the plaintiffs loss Of his leg as
a result of the defendants alleged negii-
gence.
The case went to trial Wednesday
morning, and the court and jury were
occupied till Thursday evening in hear
ing the testimony of the plaintiff and his
witnesses. All of yesterday was spent in
motion of the defendant, that, on the
plaintiffs evidence, the court direct a
verdict for the defense. For the motion
We're the. company's attorneys, w. E.
Dodge, Of ST. Paul, and J. A. Murphy
and Heber McHugh, of West Superior.
In beginning his argument for the mo-
ton yesterday morning, Mr.. Dodge made
humorous reference to the account of
the case given in a morning newspaper,
which, he said, displayed phenomenal in
tuition as to the intentions of counsel
and noteworthy legal accuracy in its re-
port. s'ft
Owing to my New England ancestry
and education" remarked the company's
attorney, Il have always reposed i'm
pilcit faith IN everything see in the pub
lie prints. 1 was brought up to believe
that newspaper was infallible. There
fore, when l read this morning in the
official organ of the present state admin
istration the announcement that our dis
tinguished adversaries, the attorneys for
the plaintiff, would move your honor to
strike out part of their clients evidence,
1 was both surprised and delighted. 1t
seemed too good to be true, but knowing
the lofty pretensions of the journal in
which it appeared, how could 1 possibly
entertain a doubt as to it's correctness?
But there is one assertion made by. the
official organ that 1 wish to deny, and
to deny it with all due respect to SO emf
nent an authority on legal procedure:
The morning paper has discovered that
it is the intention of my associates and
myself to let this suit for alleged dam
ages go to the jury without offering any
witnesses on the part of the defendant.
This charge against our competency to
conduct a trial and against our watch
fulness of the interests of our client, we
utterly repudiate. If your honor. should
decline to grant our motion to direct a
verdict, we have a large amount of very
material evidence to present, and shall
not permit the case to go by default.
Should our motion be granted, that will
end the case, and there will be no need
Of further testimony"

SERVANT LOSES SUIT
ON A TECHNICALLY
Plaintiff Fails to Prove the SANDER Set
Forth In Her Com
plant.

At the conclusion of the testimony for
Miss Sarah Ness, in her suit against her
former mistress, Miss Caroline Stephen
son, Of Dayton avenue, to recover $4,000
damages for SANDER, Judge Jaggard yes
terday granted the motion Of William H.
Llgntner, defendants attorney, to dismiss
the complaint for variance in the proof.
The plaintiff alleged in her complaint
that when she left the service of Miss
Stephenson in June last, she sent an ex-
pressman several times to the house to-
bring away her trunk, but the defendant
refused to surrender it, saying in the
presence OF many persons that she had
missed some Of her silver plate, that the
girls trunk felt very heavy, and. that she
would not permit it to be taken away till
she had examined it, because she sus-
pected her former domestic of stealing the
Character" arising from this accuse :.
ton, Miss Ness brought suit by her at
torney, Edward Gribble.
The court yesterday heard the tesu-
monY Of the eXpreSSman, out he failed to
support the charge that Miss Stephenson
had accused the plaintiff of stealing. She
had merely refused to give up the trunk,
he declared, saying that she had lost some
silver, and would not permit the trunk
that the missing articles were not in it.
Plaintiffs counsel endeavored to con-
vince the court that this statement con-
tanned an inuendo against the character
of the young woman and was therefore
actionable, but Judge Jaggard refused to
pass on that point. 1.-THE proof" said
the court, having failed to conform to
the most material allegation of the plead
ing, the action must be dismissed

GOOD THING OUT
OF BARKING YELLOW DOG
Daniel H. MoscrIps Collects Part of His
Judgment Against Edward
Heckroth.

The suit Of Daniel H Moscrip against
Jacob Stutzman and wife and Edward
Heckroth and wife was compromised yes
terday and an order dismissing the ac-
ton will be entered today in the district
court. The suit Is a sequel to the famous
dog case Of Moscrip against Heckroth,
tried last June in the same court.
Moscrip obtained verdict of $3.50 from
the jury to compensate him for the in
juries he sustained by reason of the
Heckrotll's yellow dog. He was driving
past their place In the country. he al
legged, when the dog attacked his horses,
causing them to run away and overturn
the sleigh, with the result of inf1icting Sc
we're injuries for which he sought COM
pensation from the court.
About the time the yellow dog case
came. on for trial, the Heckroths trans
ferred their property to Mrs. Heckroth's
father. Jacob Stutzman. Moscrip, after
the court had given him judgment in the
dog case. found that there was no property
on which he could levy. and he brought
suit to set aside the conveyance to Stutz-
man, alleging that it had been given for
the purpose of defeating an execution

STREET SIGNS WANTED
IN DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
Board of Public Works Would Make
Navigation Easy for
Strangers.

Suitable street markers for the busi-
ness section Of the city is an improve
ment now in contemplation by the
board Of public works. Recent in
vestigation has developed the fact that
outside of the residence streets few
of the street corners in the business
section have signs that would assist
a stranger in locating himself.
Some years ago enameled iron mark
ers were ordered for all of the streets,
but these have disappeared until now
but few of them remain. Where such
are to be found, however, they are in
such out of the way places that they
can hardly be found. In the residence
sections the new lamps recently in
stalled all carry markers and they are
considered quite convenience.
The board has taken the matter up
and If aid is given by the council will
install markers of character now in
use in many Eastern cities. These
not only give the name Of the street,
but indicate the numbers in the block.

Judge Otis yesterday displayed his
usual caution in granting a decree of
divorce to a husband, but when VIII
liam H. Rawlinson had clearly proved
that the desertion of his wife Rose was
not due to any fault Of the plaintiff,
he not only gave him the divorce pray
ed for, but denied in emphatic terms
the petition of the wife for the Gus
tody of their Seven-year-o daughter,
Vera Gail Rawlinson.
Yesterdays proceedings constitute
the last chapter in the history Of a
Hudson marriage. 1t occurred in May,
1902 at time when the Wisconsin
town was the starting point for many
romance that is ending nowadays
in the divorce court. The couple have
lived ever since their marriage in ST.
Paul, but they have not always lived
together, for, as Mr.. Rawlinson told
the court, the wife was not a home
keeping body. She often left him and
the little girl for days at time, and
finally, in March of last year, she had
left him for good, If not for ILL.,. But
the court refused to admit testimony
as to the object of her leaving, because
the plaintiff had pleaded only deser-
| ton, and the judge was thinking of
| the little woman Of seven. and anxious
to save her bitter memory.
Mrs. Rawlinson was Lot present, and
tAO SFlQ6ICG was OlIGTGQ ny her dtlOF-
ney, Philip Gilbert, to offset the lluS-
bands testimony, but when Judge Otis
announced that he would grant the di-
vorce, Mr.. Gilbert asked that the de-
cree should award the custody of the
child to his client This drew from
the court a. sharp denial.
Her SoIicitude Late.
The defendant was too late, said
the court, in manifesting her solicitude
for her offspring. She had sold the fur
niture of the family home, pocketed
the proceeds, and left husband and
daughter without a shadow Of excuse,
and the court would not tolerate such
eleventh hour repentance. The welfare
of the child was the courts first con-
sideration, and this demanded that she
be left with that parent who had dis
charged a parents duty toward her.
"CaH the next case" said the judge.
The next case was that Of Mrs.
Electa McKenny, who had lived to re-
pent the manner of her Fourth of July
celebration in the year 1872. For that
since endured thirty years of neglect
and abuse from Charles H. McKenny.

When She Was Only Fifteen.

pretty daughter Mabel, and her friend,
Mrs. Maude Ingram, was all the court
cared to hear concerning the beatings,
chokings, threats to kill, habitual
drunkenness and skulduggery which
constituted the only contributions the
wife had received from her husband
for several years before she gathered
courage to ask judicial relief
Other witnesses were waiting to cor
roborate the story, but the judge re-
fused to hear them, and ordered find

the custody of the four minor children.

Daughter Are Arrested in
st. Louis.

of the arrest Of Alfred S. Toler and
Alice Galley in st. Louis. Toler is a
Widower ffty-two years old, while his
companion is but girl of fifteen years.
The two were arrested at the instance
of the girls relatives and will be

Toler won considerable notoriety
several months ago by his efforts to
marry the Galley girl. At one time the
two visited the clerk of the courts and
requested a marriage license. AS the
girl was under age the clerk refused
to issue the license. To1er attempted
to convince the mother that it was all
for the best, but she refused to con-
sent to the match.
Later Toler and the girls father
called at the home of Mrs. Galley and
when the police arrived Mrs. Galley
accused them Of attempting to carry
the young girl away This time the
case got into the police court.
The next chapter came with the dis
appearance of William Galley, the
girls father, and the daughter of Toler.
While the neighbors were still dis
cussing this> little sensation Alice
Galley left home and her mother re-
ceiyed a note telling that Alice had
married travelling man. When Toler
disappeared Mrs. Galley became sus-
picious and notified the police.

TALKED OF IRRIGATION
AT A CLUB LUNCHEON
George H. Maxwell, of National Associ

George H. Maxwell, of Chicago, sec
rotary Of the executive committee of
the National Irrigation association,
was the guest at lunch given at the
Commercial club yesterday.
Mr.. Maxwell contends it is the duty
of business men to join the association
because they are interested in the de-
velopment of, farm lands to make their
field of business wider. In the North
west the business men are interested,
or should be, because sections to the
West, when irrigated, would make the
Twin Cities their market.

AGED WIDOW SUES TO
RECOVER LOAN OF 1900
Declares She Was Promised a Mortgage
That She Never Received

Declares Sne was FrOmlSeo a Mortgage
That She Never Received.
The suit of Mrs. Mary Ann Hughes, an
aged widow, to recover $1,000, which she
claims to have advanced to Edward F.
Mullaney and his wife Mary, to enable
them to purchase their Harrison avenue
home, is on trial before Judge Kelly in
the district court.
Mrs Hughes alleges that the defend
ants agreed at the time the money was
borrowed, in 1899 and 1900, to give her a
mortgage on tho house and lot as soon
as title was acquired, and that when the
deed was in their possession they refused
to give the promised security.
The defendants deny any such agree
ments; They admit that they received
but allege. that this was given them in
consideration of their promise to provide
"a comfortable home for her as long as she
should live. For counter claim, the
defendants .allege that they have furnish
ed her with board and lodging for five
years, and thai, the reasonable, value of
these. accommodations is S240 year,
making total of 81, 200, or 500 more than
the admitted amount of the advances from
Mrs. Hughes. The case will probably go
to the jury this morning.
