IN THHSUPREME COURT
Several 0skaloosa Cases Adjusted
by the Higher Tribunal.


Willard Carver, appellant, VS.. Seev-
Ders and Bryan ct al iahaska district.
.B. ". Preston. judge. Appeal from
order setting aside default. Affirmed.
Opinion by Sherwin.
The above case Is the outcome OF
a rather peculiar combination of cir
cumstances. The statement of the
case shows that willard Carver was
given desk room IN the Office of
Sewers &c Bryan. He made applca-
ton for partnership in the firm, Dut
this was refused. Mr.. Sewers, after
Carver had been in the place some
time over six months. asked for the
room. Carver left, and SUED Sewers
& Bryan, claiming a stated salary.
The court sustained motions OF the
part Of Sewers & Bryan for a more
specific statement. Carver was CIV
en- until a stated date to prepare the
statement. John o. Malcolm was
handling the case. He was called
away in the meantime by the illness
of his mother. In his absence
comes plaintiff with statement and
takes default Judgment against See
vers and Bryan. When Mr.. Nal
colin returned to the city and found
what had been done he made a show
ing to Judge Preston, calling atten-
ton to the matter in a motion to Set
aside the Judgment. The court did
this, taking the action OF. plaintiff,
Carver, as having been unfair 10
both the court and the defendant.
Carver ~thereupon appeals to the SUI
preme court.
The decision of the supreme court
affirms the action Of the lower conrG
in setting aside the Judgment of the
plaintiff and leaves the case decided
in favor OF Sewers and Bryan.
Freddie E. Rice, by his next
friend, VS.. j.. B. Bolton ct al. Supple
mental opinion modifying former
opinion. Motion for rehearing over
ruled M,~ TfEa .E.54 is .|rrI
In the above decision Mr.. J. b.
Bolton, who acted as agent, is made
the loser in a case in which he had
absolutely no interest and never re
ceiyed a cent of fee or profit. He is
made responsible for the price OF
two-thirds of a tract Of land of forty
acres. Acting upon the instance of
W. r. Cowans Mr.. Bolton bid in the
piece Of land at a referees sale.
Referees deed was made to him and
he in turn in closing out the deal
for the elder Mr.. Rice made a war
ranty deed. Now comes Freddie e.
Rice and claims his share in the
property as having an equity, the
being set up that he was not
made party to the suit. The su-
preme court seems TO hold MI. Boil
ton responsible for the land value,
although the attorney was acting
only as an agent for other parties.

Death of Henry c. Feldman.

On Tuesday evening F. A. Feldman o.
this city received telegram announcing
the sudden death of his father Henry c.
Feldman at St. Peter. Mimi.
While Mr.. Feldman had been in poor
health for number OF years the end
came suddenly: A short time ago he
underwent surgical operation but had
made recovery and his death was caused
by pleurisy.
Until three or four years ago he had
been in active business in this city but
at that time he transferred his interests
here to his son Frank and since that time
has for the most part made his home al
St. Peter with his son Charles, usually
visiting here for couple OF months in
the summer and fall.
Mr.. Feldman was one of the pioneers
OF this county coming here with his fam.
lily in 1879 as customs Inspector. He
was first attached to the St. Vincent of.
flee and then came to this side and was
for some years in the Neche Office. When
he left the customs service he opened a
flour and feed store in this city and did a
prosperous business for many years.
He was in every respect good and
honored citizen. He was for several
terms member ofthe city council and
was faithful and capable official. He
was member of the Masonic Lodge and
also of the local G. A. R. post. During
the Civil war he was sergeant of Co. D,
9th MINI. Vol Infantry. The 9th Mimi.
was organized in Aug. 1862 and their
first service was against the Indians in
MINI. Later they went south and were
mostly engaged in service against the
rebels in the states of Mississippi and
Alabama. They went into service with
800 men, received 26O recruits and were
mustered out in Aug. 1855 with $50 men.
MIR. Feldman will be buried at St. Pet
er which was his old home when a
young man and where his deceased
children and wife are inferred. He is
survived by his three sons, Frank of this
city, Charles of st. Peter and Henry who
is now in Michigan.

Last fall a misfortune, which had been
impending over the heads Of the business
men Of this city for many years, Tell upon
us. "A large part OF the business portion
Of the city was wiped out by ERE. In
some respects the fire was a fortunate
one in that it burned SO slowly that it
was possible to save large part OF the
stocks of most ofthe direct victims. In
this way where there was insurance the
loss was not so large as it might other
wise have been.
The loss was large however, large
enough to stagger and hinder business
to very considerable extent.
1t has left big, unsightly hole in the
middle of the city. "A hole which if it
should remain in its present condition
would mean big loss of business-jus
from itself and from what it would imply.
For, ifthat space is not rebuilt, then it
means that Pembina is too weak to re-
cover from the blow received, and il so
such weakness would thus become APP
parent to all outsiders. and they would
feel like going to some stronger place to
do business.
In this way and in many other ways
the matter of rebuilding and reorganizing
business buildings and business houses is
matter which is ofVast interest to every
citizen of Pembina whether he was di.
rect loser in the fire or not.
In this connection the Pioneer Express
desires to call attention 10 the fact that
in order to rebuild the burned district
and place business on its old or on
better footing that one thing is absolutely
necessary and that is that we pull togeth.

will necessarily be matters on which the
judgement of citizens may differ. There's
nothing wrong ABOUT that, but let every
one be ready to give and take. Do it
good.naturedly and above all things
don't be knocker.
There is more to do for the city this
spring than perhaps ever before. We
have city election next month and it
behooves us to put in good men in the
city council. There are several build

vator Co. for several years, but last year
bought wheat tor Winnipeg company
out in the Canadian Northwest, was in

bushels, and was one out of three elevat-
ors in little town of two hundred inhab-
itants; that the yield ran from 10 to 40
bushels to the acre, and it was nothing
uncommon to buy wheat that weighed 63
pounds to the bushel. The Canadian
grading is mnch stricter than on this
side. MIR. Cowan says that the farther
north one goes the better the sample Of
grain is. Some of the late sown grain in
his neighborhood got frosted.

there are many opportunities in western
Canada, but saw no special place he
would like to locate. The mining towns
OF Montana are very dead from business
point of view. Great Falls, that had a
