ASKS COURT
TO GRANT
RE-HEARING

Chief Justice Tillinghast and Justices
Douglas and Dubois today heard the
case of John Heggelund against the
oakdale Manufacturing company upon
defendants petition for a new trial. for
permission TO file and he heard upon
the record and for an extension Of time
within which TO file fhe record and be
heard thereon.
Plaintiff while at work for the defend
ant had two OF his fingers so badly
injured by the fall Of a drop press that
the fingers had TO be amputated. A jury
on the Sth Of last March awarded MT.
Haggelund s6402.
According 10 the afidavit Of counsel
for the defendant he asked Judge Wilbur
to extend the time for filing trans
cript OF the evidence TO May 2. 1904. but
that Justice said the fsrthest time for
such extension was April 25th. The
after was the time fixed
Counsel says that on going to his Of
fee having I'm his mind the date Of May
I'd made a memorandum that the trans
cript was to be filed on that day. II was
not filed on the 25th OF April but was
filed on the following day. On April 26th
the plaintiff took out exceptions, but
execution was stayed on the 2sth day OF
February.
Counsel for defendant took every other
step In due time. save the fling of the
transcript Of the evidence within time
Now counsel claims that under the sta
tute the defendant has clearly right
to be heard. as the failure of counsel 10
file the transcript was an accident. This
language is used in his brief: Through
a mere technicality the plaintiff is seeking
to enforce a verdict which is eNorbitant
and excessive in view OF the injuries sus-
tained, and that. too, upon a case sub
mitted TO the jury which was never AL
legged in the declaratio II would be a
viola ton of good conscience 70 allow the
plaintiff TO take advantage OF a mistake
-of counsel and TO deprive the defendant
of it's right to insist upon a trial AZ least
~ the cauye alleged,
John w. Hogan, counsel for the plain
tiff argued that Il was clear that the
failure to file the statement or the evil
dence in time was due either to the ne
glect or fortgetfulness Of the defendants
attorney and that II due TO neglect the
statute affords no relief as held IN Dill

and II due 10 fortgetfulness. the decision
Of the court in McDermott VS.. the Rhode

VOTED FOR ALL CANDIDATES.
There was one case yesterday where the
man had voted for every candidate on the
ticket Democrat. Republican and Prohi-
bitionlsts alike. Fortunately for the can
didates there are comparatively few men
found az impartial as this but there have
been several found by the city board as
we'll as by the state returning board.
Another common way or invalidating a
ballot is for the voter TO scratch out the
name of candidate who is obnoxious to
him. They are privileged 10 write I'm but
not 10 scratch out names.
Occasionally a man Is found who is so
proud OF the way he voted that he affxes
his name 10 his ballot but In these cases
the pride was premature for the vote does
not count save in the blank and defective
column.
