IN CIRCUIT COURT.
Jury VIII Be Busy Another Week.
Matters Disposed Of.

The case of E. NJ Curkeet VS..
Steinhoff, Stephens & Co., tried
at the October term last year, in
which the jury failed to arrive at
an agreement, came up for second
trial Wednesday.
Attorneys G. S. Osborne OF OAR
lington and J. w. Murphy OF
Platteville were counsel for plant
if and Attorneys Lowry Of Lam
caster, Beebe and Cleary of Platte
vile appeared for defendants.
The action arose over a dispute
as to the number of cattle pur-
chased two years ago by defend
ants at an auction sale held by
plaintiff. Defendants claimed they
purchased eight at a stated sum
and that one of the lot was after
ward sold to another buyer at a
price greater than they paid, and
when their demand for the eight
was made two days later and re-
fusal given, would pay for but
seven, deducting difference.
Plaintiff would not accept propo-
sition and the difference of $3.50
was contested. AS previously stat
ed the first trial resulted in disa-
greement of the jury. The second
one lasted until yesterday morning
and at conclusion of argument on
part of attorneys the court submit
ted four questions to the jury from
which they were to establish a YER
dict. AS answered, when the jury
returned at II a. M, it is difficult to
state which side can claim a vic
tory, as two of the four questions
are favorable to each side OF the
controversy and it is not yet settled
upon which contestant the costs will
fall-and that is now the prime OBJ
ject. It is likely this point will be
settled by the court later. The
jurymen in this action were John
Fusch, Licurgus Hake, Thos. Hore,
Jr., J. L. Jones, Geo. Parkins, Sam
Richie, Fred Renshaw, JAS. Smith,
Herbert Schreiner, G. E. Tuff1ey,
Thos. A. Wiley, Al Williams.
The matter under consideration
of court and jury as this paper
goes to press is that of VIM. F.
Gibson Of Platteville VS.. A. F.
Philips ct al for money demand.
Plaintiff disposed of a large num-
Der of shares in a mine owned by
defendant and is at law to recover
commission he alleges is due him.

resent parties-Ellis for plaintiff
and Kopp for defendant.
