District Court.

The October term of the district
court, Judge Platt, presiding, adj
ljourned, sine die, yesterday.
The last two weeks of the term
were occupied by the trial of the
case brought by Richard Attaway,
as guardian Of Pearl I. Loop, a
minor, to recover damages. The ad
mitted facts were that the plaintiffs
ward, Pearl /. Loop, Wien about ten
years of age, by an arrangement en-
tered into between the child's father
and the defendant, went to live with
the defendant, and be treated as his
child until she should arrive at the
age of eighteen years, and that she
remained with the defendant until
she was about Sixteen years old.
THE plaintiff claimed damages for
the failure of the defendant to prop
erly educate and clothe the child,
for damages for work, and for ill
treatment of her with the knowledge
OF, the defendant. The amount of
damages claimed was ten thousand
dollars. The case was on trial-for two
weeks and was submitted to the jury
last Saturday afternoon, and after
celebrating several hours verdict
was rendered in favor of the plain
tiff for $4,000. Yesterday the defend
ant filed a motion for a new trial,
which was overruled by the court
and judgement entered against him
for $4,000 and the costs of the trial.
E. G. Perkins and Bronson, Carr &
Sons appeared for the plaintiff and
NJ. w. Herrick and WEIGH & WEIGH
of Monticello and w. T. Fitzgerald
