Plaintiff in Test Case.

chants in the county, was tried in the

the defendants and ]. II. Tobias, living
near there, the plaintiff. Last fall a
tenant on Mr.. Tobias farm sold some
grain to the above mentioned firm
without his consent, as he held a lien
on same for his rent. This was a sort
of test case, Mr.. Tobias suing the ele-
vator company for the payment of the
grain. which amounted to about 5000

had paid it to the tenant After about
eight hours deliberation the jury re-
turned verdict in favor Of the plain
