The first civil case to require the
attention of the jury was the action
brought by VIM. Harris against A.
Schiller brought for the purpose of re-
covering the sum of $3.50. The defen-
dant Schiller had entered into a contract
with an automobile company of Mime
apolis for the purchase of 10 automobiles
and had deposited with the Company
the sum of $3.50 which was to be forfeited
to the Company in case he failed to sell
the 10 automobiles during the life OF the
contract. This contract he assigned to
the plaintiff who failed to sell the required
number of automobiles and was refused
the return of the $3.50. Harris then
turned around and sued Schiller tic
recover back this money claiming that
Schiller had misrepresented the facts
when the contract was assigned. The
jury decided in Schiller's favor and re-
turned verdict no cause of action.
The next case tried was the damage
suit brought by Hattie Moe against Jos.
Kaechele in which she demanded $4,000

defendant on the evening of July 18th
in the village of Springfield. The plain
tiff claimed that her back, throat, her
arm and her kidneys were injured and
that she was incapacitated from work

sum of $500.

against the defendant for the sum of
$728.85, the amount demanded in the
complaint. This action was brought

defendant in Jewel County, South

Friday the case of William H. Gieseke
against the Minneapolis & st. Louis
