suit In Cleveland was Edward Kaehn.
The Cleveland Leader says: "The ex-
animation of Kaehn proved to be very
amusing. On the cross-examination
Prosecutor Keller demanded to know
the business of the witness. The wit
ness said that he lived at 1926 Lake
street, and was known as Prof. James
Smith, and that his speciality was be-
ing buried alive for exhibition pur-
poses. He declared that he never had
really died. but claimed that he could
lie in a grave six days and nights. He
averred that he was ready at any time
to be buried for $500 per week, provid-
ing that there was a proper and an un-
mistakablyo trustworthy committee to
play the role Of resurrection ANGELS
should they be needed to save his life.
He was rather reluctant about tipping
on his act as he expressed 1t, but
Judge Neff became interested and
wanted to hear all about 1t. Kaehn
declared that he has been placed in a
coffin which had been properly uphol-
stored. and that 1t has been lowered
into q grave 6 feet 4 inches deep. An
air shaft is constructed and tho grave
closed.
What is tho air shaft for?' asked
the prosecutor.
"'For air. replied Kaehn, and for

SEED CASE ENDED,
Jury Awards Damages to Henry Rum
kle in His Suit Against Robert
Dixon This Morning.
NO APPEAL IS EXPECTED IN CASE
Jury Gave the Plaintif but S76.26 ana the
Defendant Will Probably Pay the
Amount of the Verdict.
From Wednesdays Daily.)

After several years of trials the
mustard seed cases, which have at
tracted considera BILE attention to Ke-
nosha, are thing of the past for in
the Circuit court this morning the jury
returned a verdict granting Henry
Runkle judgment Of $76.25 against
Robert Dixon. Runkle was the last of
the plaintiffs to be settled with, and it
is probable that Storekeeper Dixon
will now settle up the judgment and
let the famous cases drop forever out
of sight.
The Judgment is regarded as an
ceedingly small one and many people
thought that if any damages were
granted the amount would be far in
excess of this sum. It was shown,
however, that Runkle was not the
owner of the land but tenant and it
is supposed that this point made the
measure Of damages considerably
smaller. Of course it is possible that
the case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court, but as the court once
before ruled on case similar to the
Runkle case, it is hardly possible that
this action will be taken.
The case was submitted to the jury
shortly after O'Clock Tuesday eve
ming and they continued to wrestle
with the troublesome questions of
mustard and rape seed all through the
night, reaching verdict at 5-o'clock
this morning. It has been stated that
nearly every juror was satisfied that
Runkle should have damages, but the
amount was the sticking point.
The verdict is a complete victory for
the plaintiff. In the six questions
answered the jury found that the seed
had been represented as rape seed
either by Dixon or one of his en-
ployees, and that the plaintiff had
relied entirely on the statement of de-
fendant when he scattered the seed
broadcast on his farm. The Jury also
asserted that the plaintiff had made
diligent efforts to root out the mustard
after the plans had sprung up. The
question of experts came Id and the
jrry decided that the seed had never
been examined by any SO called expert
before it was sold.
The sale of the seed to the diffe emf
farmers has proved quite an expensive
deal for Storekeeper Dixon as he has
been forced to settled damages with
two farmers who sowed the seed.
