PETITION
COURT
Relief Asked for In Cases
Brought Against the Rhode
Island Company.

The practice OF the Rhode Island com
pany in retaining but one attorney to
conduct its cases in the Supreme court,
which constitute more than half the
cases before the court. has resulted In
q situation so intolerable as 10 cause the
attorneys of the court who are interested
on the other side OF the suits, and others
who have long delayed cases awaiting
trial, but which are held up by the pro-
erastination Of the railroad company to re-
bel, and yesterday a petition was pre-
scented the Supreme court asking that
some means be devised TO end such
q state of affairs.
So numerous are the cases against the
railroad indeed. that some times three
or four cases are assigned for trial on a
given day, and as David S. Baker handles
them ALL the impossibility of trying
more than one case at time is seen.
Yesterday a petition signed by more
than 100 attorneys OF the state was pre-
eented 10 Chief Justice Stiness praying

cellent gentlemen. Such a ticket ought

Notwithstanding the verdict of the jury

The plaintiff had leased a farm from

sued to recover $l,O70 damages, and the
jury awarded him $500. The defendant
then made the two motions which the
court has just passed upon.
The following memorandum accom-.
panies the order: 81 think that the ends
of Justice will be best served by a new
trial of this action. The damages allow
ed by the jury are. fully as great, at

of the reasonable testimony
offered on the question of damages, if,
in fact, under the peculiar conditions of

OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION.
Cottonwood County Not Wanted by
Sixth District.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily
A meeting of the Blue Earth county
bar association was held yesterday after
noon to consider the proposed redistrict-
ing of southwestern Minnesota judicial
districts. The necessity of Cottonwood
county being detached from Judge
Browns district and added to some other
district was discussed. The general
opinion was that it naturally belongs to
Judge Quinn's district. 1t was thought
that Blue Earth and Watonwan counties
furnish enough business to keep one
Judge busy, without attaching another
county. The following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
Blue Earth county bar association that
public interest will not be subserved by
adding any new counties to the present
sixth judicial district"
The following committee was appoint
ed to consult with the proper committees
of the legislature in case bill should be
attaching Cottonwood county
to the sixth district: A. R. Pau ST.,
chairman, w. N. Plymat, G. L. Benedict,
