JURY DISMISSED.
Could Not Agree in the Cat and Chicken Case.

The jury that heard the suit of
 Joseph Mutter and wife against
 James Walker, the plumbing inspec- tor, could not agree and were accord ingly dismissed in the district court yesterday afternoon. That closed tho term. It is said that the jury stood nine to three for. the plaintiffs. Tho question in issue was whether or not there are property rights in . cat. Attorney Devine, counsel for the defense. held that there were not and he quoted law as far back as the reign of Queen Anne, in which cer- tain lord said you can kill cat" for a cat Is a wild animal.
 Attorney Lynch, for the plaintiffs,
 maintained that the cat has been re- claimed and domesticated and made a family pet and but for cats there would be no living with rats. In closing his argument to the jury he
 said land now gentlemen I wish you. all merry Christmas."
 The words had scarcely been ut- tered when up jumped Attorney De- vine and filed an objection with tho court against the remarks of coun-
 sel. The idea, wishing the jury . merry Christmas? Judge Cowell said he would remember the objection,
 but as the jury failed to agree and thereby called the trial . draw, the | objection goes for naught.

TO SET ASIDE VERDICT.
City Will Dispute the Claim of Mn Ida Sackett,

Judge Case in the superior court to-day heard . motion to set aside the verdict in the suit of Mrs Ida Sackett against tho city in which last evening she was awarded dam- ages of $1,0O0. Attorney John P. Kellogg. counsel for the city. con- tended that instead of the city hav- ing trespassed on Mrs Sackett's property she, in fact, was . trespas- ser on the highway according to all the surveys made as far back d 1854.
 He held that 1t was evident to him that the jurors lost their heads in sympathy for the plaintiff. or else that they threw aside all the surveys and concluded that Mrs Sackett had been previously wronged. Attorney 10. C. Root, counsel for Mrs Sackett. said 1t was quite obvious that the city had trespassed upon his clients property and the jury was aware of It. Decision was reserved.
