Chase by Omcer.

Justice 2. ]. King added another chapter
to the story of the Shults-MacMillan cleo
ton bet yesterday by sustaining S. o.
Shrigley's garnishee for the amount of Mac
Mlllan's obligation, or ss4. The defendant
in the gsrnishment proceedings immedi-
ately gave notice of appeal.
John Shuts and John Macmillan made
a bet of $500 each on the election of con-
gresham and Macmillan won the wager.
Before Morgan Heafey, the stake holder,
turned the money over. S. c. Shrigley
interviewed with the garnishee for a claim
of six or seven years standing between
himself and Macmillan.
The defense did not seek to deny the
obligation nor to make a point of the kind
of claim he held on the election bet in
Morgan Heafey's hands. The judge there
fore could find no reason for passing judg-
ment other than he did. The statute Of
limitations was limited at but this was not
strongly pressed.
