at issue have not been OF particular
interest, but they have all taken up
considerable time, and up to this fore
noon the county attorney had not seen
fit to move the trial Of the criminal
calendar.
The first jury case on the calendar
was an old one that had been tried at
a previous term and continued over
several. It was the case of John Hor-
man VS.. Dan Williams and involved
a dispute over note given by Will
liams in payment OF an insurance
policy The jury decided that Norman
was entitled to his pay and gave him
judgment for s265.sl.
The second case was that of Andrew
Hoecherl against VIM. Anderson and
Albert G. Anderson. Hoecherl. it
seems, had purchased from the defend
ants store building and sued for the
price of the fixtures, which were re-
moved by the defendants after the sale
had been consummated. but which ac-
cording to the plaintiff were included
in the bargain. The jury again de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff and gave
judgment for $50.
C. II. Hornburg won out in his suit
against Frank Kretsch and W. A.
Kastner, the court awarding judg-
ment on the pleadings No trial was
necessary.
In the matter OF the Drake Marble &
Tile Company VS.. the Holy Trinity
| Church the court overruled a demur-
rer interposed by the defendants and
gave them twenty days in which to file
an answer.
Otto Schreyer received judgment
Of 81, 900 and costs against the Falk
boys of Milford. Paul, Adolph and
Gustav. The case grew out of a istic
encounter that occurred on the Falh
farm last summer and in which
Schreyer got the worst OF it. Schreyer's
injuries necessitated his undergoing
two operations by well-known surgeons
and the jury evidently took into con-
sideration the usual cost of such oper-
ations when they came to determine
the damages
| For slandering Magdalena Soukup
a jury decided that Mike BRANDED
should pay her $3.50.
A verdict of $500 was returned in
favor of the plaintiff in the case OF
