BANK GETS q DAMAGES.


Case Against Tayeine sad Meyer Is De-
eIded In Favor d Plaintiff.
The case Of the First National bank
vs.. +. n. LaveiDe and NJ. NJ. Meyer
came up for q hearing before Judge
Mccall at Rathdrum Monday. r. L.
Burgan and J.. L. Mcclesr appeared
for the plaintiff and Mr.. LaVeine
for himself and Mr. Meyer. The suit
was brought for the purpose Of secur-
ing possession If the rooms occupied
by the defendants under lease from
the former owner Of the building and
for $500 damages. After the case
was called the defendants field a
demurrer to the complaint and the
balance Of the day was taken up in
hearing the arguments on this, the
court taking the matter under advise
ment until Tuesday, when the de-
murrer was rejected. The case came
on for trial Wednesday before jury
Of twelve and the evidence was sub
mitted. The jury brouhgt in a YER
dict awarding tire plaintiff damages
in the sum Of OIL. The defendants
gave notice of appeal and the case
will now come up in the district
court. LaVeine and Meyer are still
IN possession Of the rooms and 1t Is
said that the next move Of the bank
people will be ejeetment proceedings.
This fight between tenant and land
lord has been interesting from the
start and 1t is probable that two cases
will go TO the supreme court as a
result. one Of these being the iniunc-
ton case Of LAveine and Meyer 10
which Judge Morgan granted dis
solution Of the temporary injunction
on an exparte hearing. The last case
lie likely 70 be appealed no matter
which side wins In the district court.

Legend. of the Owl and Raven.

ACSCAuS VI tAc OV1 anu tAaVcns
In some parts of Europe an omelet
made from the eggs of the long cared
owl is believed to be an effective cure
for drunkenness
In Germany the raven is supposed to
be able to procure a magic stone that
gives invisibility to the wearer. It is
apparently not simple matter to OBJ
tain, for in the first place, after dis
covering the nest, you must satisfy
yourself that the old birds are at least
over a century old. Then you climb to
the nest and must either take out an
egg, boil it hard and replace it, or If
there should be young you must kill
male nestling-it must be a male-and
replace 1t also. After this the spot
must be most carefully marked, for
the parent bird, if he is old enough,
will return with the magic stone, which
will render the nest invisible, and it is
apparently from the spot where you
judge the nest ought to be that you
must pluck the prize.-Westminster
