CIVIL CASES THIS WEEK

PeODle.

The case of Roggenkamp VS. Vein.
brant was the first jury case to be tried
and was called on Tuesday. 1t in
volved the possession of COW. 1t was
claimed by John Roggenkamp as his
by purchase from his wife and the
claim of the defendant was that the
COW they had and which the
plaintiff sought to replevin was not the
same one that he alleged he bought
from his wife, but was in fact different
COW. The jury sustained this claim
and found for the defendant.
The case OF Romans vs. Whiting in
volving the possession of a farm claimed
by Whiting to have been rented to
him by Romans was the next case.
The Court took the case away from the
the Jury this morning and instructed
them to return verdict for the plain
tiff, r. A. Romans. This has the ef-
feet of giving him possession Of the
farm.
This is all the jury work completed
this week. However large number
of cases have been disposed of. Several
unhappy married couples have had
their troubles discontinued through
the medium of divorces. The divorce
cases tried and DEGREES rendered were
Bahsen VS. Bahsen, Hill vs. Hill and
Stone VS. Stone.
There we're several cases continued
until next term among which .was the
state VS. Butler which was continued
on account ofthe disability.of Mr. Lally
who represents. the defendant
/ The state cases set down for trial
are State VS. David Ringer indicted for
4 assault on c.. w. Menagh which will
be tried on Tuesday: State VS. John
Jackson, indicted for breaking the jail
at Manila and assisting prisoner to
escape which will be tried Tuesday
and the State VS. Sweeny and Rohan
indicted for breaking and entering the
residence of George Lingle last .Satur-
day evening. 1t is the expectation
that these two individuals will be re.
tired from circulation for while at
least.
II On Monday the case of the State ex.
rel Lizzie Mundt VS. Henry Meir will
be taken up: this being matter where
the plaintiff gave birth to an illegiti-
mate child and seeks to compel its
father(who she claims is the edefendant)
to support it. This will probably be a
. hotly contested case. The way busi-
ness has opened up this term would
warrant the belief that large number
of cases will be disposed of.
There have been large grist as
signed for this term and it is expected
that next week will be steadily taken
up with the trial of jury cases. The
grand jury has considered a number of
cases and examined great many wit
nesses but have as yet indicted in no
case save the matter of the burglary OF
George Lingle's house. 1t is the ex.
pectation however that some other in
dictments will be returned. Among
other matters considered by them was
the charge against E. S. Barnes of dis
posing OF mortgaged property and tw,
witnesses were present from Sioux
City to testify in the matter.
In the case of B F. Lawson VS. Craw-
ford county. being an action by Law
son who formerly lived at Manila fol
stables fees amounting to some S6s
which the county refused to pay. He
brought suit for the same and the
Court Thursday sustained the demurrer
filed by the County to his petition.
