MUCH RAIN IN MANITOBA
Trying to Cut Wheat by
Using Engine on
Binder.

J. 7. Mcclure of Gibson City, Ill.
is visiting his daughter, Mrs. G. w
Snyder. Mr.. Mcclure is on his way
home from Brunkild, Manitoba, where
he visited relatives. He says the
rainfall has been so great about Win
nipeg that much of the wheat, oats
and barley remain uncut. The grain
still stands in the fields and there is
hope that some of it may be saved.
Some of the growers have placed a
gasoline engine on their binders TO do
the work and this prevents the binders
from sinking into the soft soil over the
fields. The early wheat was cut and
is growing in the stacks.

COURT D|SM|SSES
THE AUTO CASE
According to Decision the
Sauk City Firm is Not
Responsible.

At the last term of the circuit court
the jury brought in a verict OF over
$500 in favor of Alvin j. Cooper of
Plain who had sued the Huerth-
Schaefer Auto company of Sauk City.
It will be recalled that Mr.. Cooper is
a mail carrier at Plain and purchased
the machine with the understanding
that it would go up Yankee hill sand
otherwise do work expected of it. He
was not satisfied with the machine
and returned it to the Sauk City firm,
at the same time demanding his note.
The suit followed and the jury de-
cided in favor of Mr.. Cooper, but
Judge Stevens holds that the members
of the Sauk City firm were acting as
agents only and that the firm which
made the machine should have been
sued. This means that Mr.. Cooper
cannot recover. The firm which made
the automobile is no longer in bust.
