Sold Farm For Song.

George w. Peck, the Home man who
was terrorized by white caps few
weeks ago, was in New Ulm Friday
and disposed of his real property in
that township to Fred Wooldrik. It is
understood that he sold ninety-two
acres OF land for 81, 800, Of which $500
was in cash and the balance the $1,000
mortgage which Peck placed on the
farm this month and which Wooldrik
has assumed. However, in the trans
fer filed in the Office of Register of
Deeds W. G. Miller, only 1882 acres
are mentioned and for this tract Peck
received 81 ,625. In either case Wool
rik secured q wonderful bargain, for
the land is worth nearly twice the sum
it brought. Since the sale one New
U1m man has stated that the property
is worth between $35 and $40 per acre
and that he would willingly have Civ
en- Peck $3,25O for it. The transfer
fled in the registers office was signed
only by Peck and the abstract has
been sent to Greenville, Mich, to get
the signature of his wife. In view Of
the low figures it would not be sur
prlslng were she to refuse to attach
her name.

Injury Suit.
Other Notes Of December Term of
District Court.

After being out five hours, the jury
in the case Of Joseph Burk, plaintiff,
vs.. the Chicago & Northwestern Rail.
way company, defendant, reported
Saturday night that they were unable
to reach an agreement. They were
discharged by the court and, in spite
of the brave fight put up. by the plain.
tiff's attorneys, Messrs. Somerville g.
Olsen, the celebrated personal injury
suit is now where it was at the outset.
Burk's case haze been on the docket
for several years. Started originally
in the district court, it was transferred
to the United States circuit court and
then brought back to. Brown county.
The first trial resulted in q disagree
ment by the jury and now the COM
plication has been repeated.
The plaintiff asked damages in the
amount of s., 945 for injuries which he
received in an accident. in the New
Ulm yards. On the night of Jan. q,
1899, a freight train broke in two and
when the wild section struck the lead
ing cars they were forced against an
engine in which Burk was firing. His
knee was wrenched and he was laid up
for several months but subsequently,
signed a release to the company in
consideration, they say, of $500 and
full pay for all the time he lost. p
When Burk attempted to return to
work his eyesight was found to be
defective and he was discharged.
Later he instituted a suit for damages,
claiming that the release mentioned
was obtained through the fraudulent
representations of a claim agent. The
case went to trial Wednesday and was
concluded late Saturday afternoon.
At 10 o'clock that night the jurymen
returned into court and reported q
vote of II to 1, it being understood that
the majority favored a verdict in
favor of the defendant.
On Monday the case of Jacob
Schmidt, plaintiff, VS.. John Schmidt,
defendant, went to trial; the plaintiff
being represented by Lind & Stein
hauser and the defendant by Somer-
Vile & Olsen. The action is brought
to determine the title to 80 acres of
land and to GUST the defendant from
possession of the property. It will
be concluded this morning.
