WANTS THE COURT
TO RECONSIDER
Judges Decision, According to
Attorney, Embarrasses
lnstailment Houses.

As counsel for the North Star
Housefurnishing company Attorney
Olmstead made strong effort yester-
day to induce Judge F'inehout, of the
municipal court, to reconsider a de-
cision heretofore made and grant a
new trial, the attorney asserting that
the opinion already rendered would
compel his clients and most other of
the lnstallment houses to reconstruct
their business methods.
The judge practically held, in the
case Of the housefurnishing company
against Alex Rinkey, that where a man
purchases furniture on installment ir
dlfterent lots and at different times,
the purchaser has the right to elect on
which lot given payment shall be
credited. If the payment in question
settles the amount as to one lot, or
purchase, the concern selling the goods
cannot take possession of anything in
the lot, or purchase that has been fully
paid for.
The evidence in the case showed that
R1nkey purchased from the housefur-
n1sh1ng company a stove for $39.40
That later, when he had paid $37.4O on
account he concluded to buy baby
buggy. For this he agreed to pay
$21.S5. Later he desired to pay the
$2 left due on the stove and asked for
q receipt in full as to the first mort
gage. This was refused, but he was
given receipt for the money.
Rinkey refused to continue payments
on the buggy and turned it over to the
housefurnishing people. The company
then replevined the stove, and at the
trial contended that the claim on the
buggy became and was made a part of
the mortgage on the stove, and that
the title Of both stove and buggy rested
in the company until the entire amount
was paid on both contracts, or mort
cages.
Judge Finehout intimated at the
hearing yesterday that he would over
rule the motion for a new trial, hold
ing to his former opinion The case
will be appealed.

Theodor C. Borup, a pioneer mer-
chant of st. Paul and son of the first
local banker, died unexpectedly yes
terday morning at his home, 555 Sum
nit avenue. He was seventy
years old. 49,
Mr.. Borup had been ill two weeks,
but he was not thought to be in a Sc
rious condition. At $50 o'clock yester-
day morning, feeling better, he desired
to rise. He was sitting on.the edge of his
bed when he dropped back without
speaking. He died instantly, of heart
failure, in the opinion Of DR.. e. J. Alb
bolt, who was summoned. Weakness
of the heart had been a symptom Of
his illness.
At the early trading settlement of
La Pointe, Wis, on one of the Apostle
Islands in Lake Superior, Mr. Borup
was born in 1888. His father, Dr.
Charles BOrup, an Indian trader of
Danish extraction, removed to st. Paul
in 1916. A few years later DR.. Borup
and his brother -in-Iaw opened, as
Borup & Cakes, the first bank in ST
Paul. Here young Theodor was en-
ployed as clerk. Later he became
one of the firm of BOrup, Steven &
Champlain, wholesalers, grocers and
general traders. Subsequent connec-
tons in the same line were those of
Borup & Racquet and Borup & Jackson.
In 1878 Mr.. Borup and the late A. H
Wilder secured the sutlership of Fort
Custer, Mont. At that time the busi-
ness of a post trader was remarkably
profitable, and when Mr.. Borup's con-
nections with the fort ceased, in 1890,
he had gained fortune.
