END OF LONG LITIGATION.
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision in Rusk-lin
demann Litigation.

On Saturday last the state supreme
court gave its findings in the long. draw n
out litigation between the Rusk and
Lindemann heirs, and the Judgment of
the lower court, over which Judge Fruit
presided, was affirmed A year ago the
verdict was for ST., 500 in favor of the
plaintiffs, the Rusk heirs An appeal
was taken to higher tribunal, where
the findings were sustained.
This is case in litigation with which
most Of our readers are somewhat fami-
liar. At the expiration of the charter
Of the old Bank Of Viroqua, in which J.
NJ Rusk and w F. Ltndemann, both
now deceased, were co-partners, Mr.,
Lindemann and his sons established q
separate banking Institution, adopting
the name of the old concern The Rusk
heirs brought suit to recover from the
Lindemann heirs an equity in the good
will of the old concern, which it was al
legged had been appropriated.
Without entering into the legal minu-
tia that has strung out through four
years, the above is briefly statement
of the differences involved
