relations Of Lawyer ana client

The count OF appeals of New
York has lately decided a ease Of
much inseres, to lawyers and their
clients. with incidental reference to
corporations and individuals against
whom judgments for damages have
been obtained.
The plaintiff in the case was a
woman who had been injured on
one OF the elevated railway lines in
New York city. She az once brought
action for 5000 damages against
the railway company, which was
followed By a verdict for Sr,zoo.
Representing the delays that were
inevitable and the reyersals which
were possible, the comPany's attor-
ney induced the plaintiff to take
5000 and call j, square. all proceed
ings being carefully concealed from
the plaintiffs attorney. When that
gentleman heard Of the doings, he
conceived himself to have been bad
ly treated and promptly sued the
elevated company for 5000, alleg-
ing that he was to have 50 per cent
of any judgment that might be re-
covered. He tailed in the lower
courts, bu6 the court of appeals
holds his claim to be valid and has
reversed the case with directions to
enter judgment in his favor. The
court held that as the laboTer is
worthy of bis hire so the lawyer is
worthy Of his fee. with the added
suggestion that the lien Of an attor-
ney on a judgment cannot be iguor-
ed by his client nor by the defend
ant and that due notice must be
taken thereof. The finding OF The
court Of appeals is right despite the
somewhat popular notion that 81 is
all right to fleece a lawyer when
occasion permits.

Columbia, Mo-. April r., 1908.
The week just closed averaged
decidedly warmer than usual
througout the the state, with more
than the normal amount OF sunshine
but on the Iath the weather was
generally cloudy and much cooler.
Moderately heavy rains have fallen
in all sections. Over the greater
portion Of the state the total pereip-
itation for the week ranged from 1
to over ? inches Destructive hail
storms occurred in Shannon, Wright
Green and Lawrence counties, do
ing considerable damage to fruit
trees over small areas.
In a few OF the extreme southern
counties the rains were needed, the
soil being quite dry, but in most
sections the ground has been too
wet aud the heavy showers will st,ll
further delay farm work. Dat sow
ing is about completed ia a majori-
iiy OF the southern counties, and is
well advanced 10 portions Of the
central aud northern sections. In
some Of the extreme northern coun-
ties seeding has only just begun.
The earlier sown oats are coming
