The June calendar was cleaned up and

shortest terms held in the county for
some years. There were few ca es of
importance to dispose Of. More divorces
were granted than at any session for

with exemplary conduct they will be re-

been removed to the institution at Green
Bay. A case that attracted most atten.
tion was that of Fred Stoll against the
Utica Insurance Company He sued for
5000 for damages sustained by reason of
the destruction of his barn in the terrific
year ago. Mr.. Stoll maintained that
lightning struck the barn, making an
opening which caused the wind to sweep
away the builling The rourt directed
that if the jury found lightning struck
the barn causing hole the cost of re-
pair only of that specific damage should
be assessed. Such was the verdict and
a judgement of $25 was given.
The case of Jchn nj Nopca anaiust
his sister, Mary Jane Davis, attracted
more attention than any other of this
term. Shortly before her death the
mother of these parties, Susan Vance,
by deed conveyed her real estate TO the
daughter. The action was brought to
set aside the deed, and Judge Fruit di-
rected that it be done He maintained
that where there is the slightest pos
sibility of undue influence or evidence
of incapacity on part of the deceased,
rights of all heirs should be fully protect
ed The case, we are advised, will be |
appealed to supreme court.
