In a decision handed down Judge
Lueck denies the petition for new
trial in the case of Phillips VS.. Eggert
and holds that the verdict for $4,000
must stand and that Eggert and his
bondsmen must pay the Judgment.

supreme court. The case which has
been in conrt three years is that in
which Frank Phillips of Green Bay sued

that because Eggert rs sheriff failed to
attach the steamer Portage, owned by
the company, Phillips was defeated in
collecting his Judgment. The case has
been to the supreme court once. The
jury in the January court gave Phillips
a verdict for $2500 and costs. The
bondsmen of Eggert are Henry Wits, F.
c. Buerstatte, A. Schnorr, John Schrei-
hart and Joe Staehle.

The WiIv Giraffe

Perhaps the most difficult OF all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe. In
addition to being very rare, gira8es
are exceedingly timid and are very
swift-footed
There is no special way to capture
a giraffe, as almost every way has
been tried and all have been almost
equally unsuccessful The method
which has occasionally resulted in a
capture is by using long cord at each
end of which is a round weight. This
cord is thrown by the hunter In such
manner as to wind around the an.
imals legs, either bringing it to the
ground or rendering 1t incapable OF
escaping before 1t Is made prisoner.
Most Of the giraffes in captivity have
been caught by chance when young.

TERENS NOT DISCHARGED.

Because the court holds that he made
an exaggerated property statement to
obtain goods from creditors, N. H. Ter
ems, the Mishicott man who has been in
the bankrupcy courts since last January
has been denied his discharge by a de-
cision handed down by the federal court.
Terens' application for release from
BANKRUPTCY was contested by the Inter
national Harvester Co. which charged
that Herens made false statement of
property and had secured machinery
from the company on that statement.
A second charge alleged Terens embez-
zled the proceeds of the sale of the ma
chinery which the company claimed to
hold title to- The court rejects the sec
ond charge, however, but refuses to re-
lease Terens on the first
Other creditors made no objection to
the release of Terens and it is said that
another application will now be filed
asking that Terens be released of all
claims except that of the Harvester Co.
which is said to be for $4,000. In this
event the Harvester Co. would have the
right of creditor at all times. Several
other questions in the Terels case are
pending before the referee.
Terens filed a petition in bankruptcy
January last and claims to have turned
over all his property. The East Wiscon'
sin Trustee Co. of this city was named
as trustee and at present holds more
than $40, 600 for creditors but owing to
several questions which have been raised
in the case, has been prevented from
paying dividends. Terens was engaged
in the mercantile business under the
firm name of Terens Il Oswald, but a
short time before his petition was filed,
the partnership was dissolved and a
question on the legality of the dissolu-
ton has been one of the vexed ones of
the case Another question was raised
by the filing of claim of S392 by Mrs.
Terens for monies advanced to pay life
insurance premiums

state legislature and an attorney were
the principal speakers, a wild mob of
500 to 1000 men started for the
Greek quarters to avenge the death
of Patrolman Edward Lowery, who
was shot and killed Friday night b.
a Greek whom he had placed under
arrest. Before their thirst for blood
had been satisfied two boys were shot

injured by heavy missiles, which the
crowd used as weapons, and not less
than thirty buildings were partially
demolished. The injured boys are
Frank Sweeney and Joseph Gamble,
