ing for the December term OF the dis
trict court many new cases were
brought yesterday, being filed with
the clerk OF the courts. The busi-
ness for the uay was not 30 heavy as
usual and there was little or nothing
OF sensational nature IN the cases
brought.

sa. These lots, FORMING the Boule'
ward addition, were offered at auc'
tion last spring by Mr.. McMillen, Mr..
Carver assisting In the transactions.
The pay OF Mr.. McMillen was to have
been in proportion to the number OF
lots sold. Mr.. Carver received. Mr..
Crabtree states, stipulated sum for
services. The gentleman clair1s that
TIE lots were sold, and the deeds ex.
ecuted as per authority given by him,
but that Mr.. McMillen and Mr.. Car.
yer had retained the proceeds, there
by damaging him to the extent OF s2t
10000.

Thomas Jackson asks $1,000 dam
ages OF the Home Telephone Compa-
ny because Of an accident sustained
by him north Of Eddyyille on October
I21. Thomas was thrown from hds
lrig, being caught by wire, stretched
from the telephone pole to a dead
man" near by, as sort OF brace.
Mr.. Jackson contends that this was In
the road, that there was nothing 70
mark II as dangerous, and that no was
unable to see or know that there was
danger. He was thrown from his
buggy, which was overturned, and
suffered broken wrist. The doctors
bill was $4,000 and Thomas lost d
months time at 10000, while the
pain that he has suffered and will suf-
fer, was worth TO any man s1,7Oos

damages.
Picture l.. 8. Cables hogs roofing
In the orchard he had rented from
James A. Stewart, until the orchard
was destroyed by the gnawIng OF the
rooters. Contrast this with the big
orchard as it was before, with big red
apples abounding on the trees, and
the yelvety grass carpet oelow, dotted
with the luscious fruit dropped by
the wind. The contrast, In Mr.. Stew
arts opinion, certainly shows a dam
age Of $4,000. Also the gentleman
asks s240 as rent for ten acres Of
pasture from 1897 until the present
summer, to say nothing OF interest
AZ costs.
Suit on a note is brought by the
Forest Cemetery Association against
Ben Mccoy and .. B. Bolton.
orin Fleming sets forth that Syl-
yester and Perry Winner removed on
November 2 a steer worth $500 from

done "wrongfully, maliciously, feIon-
iousIy. and by stealth" The plain
tn claims that damage amounting 10
$4,000 has been done him By the
transaction.
