lodging, care and attendance while he
was sn inmate of the hospital.
The ownership OF tho Alex ausomo.
bile was in issue In the case Of Mueller
& Aab vs.. Conrad Alex, Alfred Bal
trusch, Intervenor. After impaneling
q jury, the parties to the suit decided,
that in realty there were only law
questions involved and therefore
dispensed with the jury and tried the
case before the Court Judge Olsen
took the case under sdvisement and
has so far not filed decision.
The last civil jury case on trial be-
fera 1hescriminal csssa were taken u1

n exceptionally clean and tidy con.
ition and that the prisoners at the
Ill and the inmates of the Poor Home
re we'll taken care of and have no
'ason for complaint. They also ,
