LAW BLOCKS CUPID
Youthful Couple Denied a Mar
rage License

Two innocent young persons drifted
into Justice Mills court yesterday aft
ernoon, clasping hands, and after gaz-
ing around in a bashful manner an
nounced that they had come to be
married.
Nothing loath the justice set about
the occasion, but when everything was
ready it was found that the couple had
failed to obtain a marriage license.
The greatest confusion reigned for
a time, but finally peace was restored
and the law was explained to the dis
appointed couple. But their troubles
were not yet over, for when the groom
to be attempted to get license it was
discovered that neither he nor his lady
love was of age. The justice advised
the youthful lovers to wait few years
and they ruefully took their depar-
ture.

NEW TRIAL MOTION
DENIED BY BUM
District Judge Doubts Liability of Conn
panies When Employees Are Reckless


Doubt whether railway companies are
liable for exemplary damages when their
employees assault passengers was ex-
pressed yesterday by Judge Bum, of the
district court in an order denying George
Utman's motion for new trial of his case
against the Great Northern Railway com
pany.
The jury had given the plaintiff ver-
dict for 81.
After the trial the plaintiff. in his mo-
tion asserted that he was entitled to ex-
emplary damages as well as actual DAM
ages, and that the amount awarded was
manifestlys Inadequate
The court decides, however, that the
liability of the company for exemplary
damages is doubtful, and that, in view of
the fact that the plaintiffs encounter
with brakeman did not result seriously
the motion for new trial would be de-
MED.

SUES BROTHER-IN-LAW
FOR MONEY LOANED
AdaIbert Mazurkewis Pays Fare From
Poland and Seeks Reimbursement.

After sending his brother in law,
Frank Nowapowski, transportation
here from Poland, Adalbert Mazurke-
wig is now suing him for the price Of
the ticket.
Adalbert sent the ticket last winter
and Frank arrived in the spring amid
greatArejoicing. The new arrival soon
obtained employment at the Great
Northern railway, where he has been
ever since, and undertook to refund to
his brother-in-law the money spent on
the ticket, $140 in all. He had payed
$55 when he came to the conclusion
that the ticket was a gift from Adal-
bert and refused to pay the balance.
Adalbert could not see the matter that
way and the case came up In Justice
Johnson's court yesterday where it
was continued until next week.

night for Milwaukee with the avoWed
intention of laying his. evidence be-
fore the authorities of that city and
bringing the woman to account.
Mrs. Gates. according to DR.: Mad
den, has continued to pose as the heir
to a large fortune. The doctor was
retained by her as her personal physi-
clan at fee of $4,000. The contract
required that he give up his office in
Milwaukee and devote his time to- her.
He was to travel with her thru Europe
and they were to sail for England last
July. For some reason they did not
go.
Under date of June "a, 1903, there
appeared in one of the Milwaukee
dailies the following dispatch
from Indianapolis: DIR. John
Madden, son-in-law of DR.. Nelson S.
Darling of Laporte, will receive a re-
tainer of $4,000, it is said, to accom-
pany Mrs. Gates of that city, said to
be worth $4O,OOO,00O, on a tour of
Europe for the restoration of her
health. In addition to this sum DR..
Madden will receive handsome sal
airy. He will be accompanied by his
wife, Mrs Grace Darling Madden, for
merly a teacher in the Wisconsin
state normal school,
While Mrs. Gates, for reasons known
only to herself, did not go to Europe,
she spent much of her time in travel
ing. about the country and, accom-
panied by DR.. Madden, she visited New
York, Montreal, Chicago and Wash
her headquarters at the Sherman hotel
and allowed the impression to go
abroad that she had fallen heir to a
fortune left by an uncle in Cali
fornia. To DR.. Madden, however. she
stated that the fortune was to come
where the will was probated.

travelling with DR.. Madden, she was
securing the expenses for the trip uFs7

! to large fortune, and while DR.. Mad
den refuses to make statements in
regard to the matter, he hints that he

to his friends and says that his friends

to the woman. These friends now
hold him responsible for the money, az
| it was thru him that Mrs. Gates wa,

DR.. Madden, on the strength of his
favorable contract with Mrs. Gates
gave up his office in Milwaukee ant
left a lucrative practice. Rumor il
