HARRIS { CO. LOSE SUIT
Interesting Case Decided by U. S.
Court of Appeals in Favor of
James Chapman.

Considerable interest attaches to the
suit brought by Harris & Co. against
James Chapman, in the federal court for
the district of Utah, which has just been
passed upon by the United States court
of appeals at st. Louis.
In this suit Harris & Co. charged that
they had advanced large sums OF money
to Bradshaw Bros. 10 purchase sheep
and cattle. and it was further claimed
the Bradshaw Bros. had done their bank
ing bust ess with James Chapman, and
that the latter had wrongfully allowed
Bradshaw Bros to check out the money
of Harris & Co. in the purchase of sheep
and cattle and for that reason ii was
claimed that although MIR. Chapman had
personally received none OF the money
yet he ought to make good to Harris e.
Co. the money they had lost by the dis
bursements of Bradshaw Bros. In prin-
cipal and interest Harris co. sought
to recover from James Chapman about
$4,000.
A great amount of testimony was taken,
making a very large record, and after
full hearing before Judge Marshall of the
federal court he rendered a decree in ia
vor of Harris & Co. and against James
Chapman for s2S6s. As. Both Harris &
Co. and James Chapman appealed from
this decree to the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Eighth circuit,
sitting at st. Louis. Mo.
Monday the circuit court of appeals de-
cided that Harris & Co. were not entitled
to recover anyShing whatever from Mr..
Chapman and ordered that the bill Of
complaint of Harris & Co be dismissed
from court.
