Supreme Court.

The case on trial at the supreme
court Wednesday forenoon was Brown
VS.. the Linn Woolen Co. of Hartland.
l.. o. Brown brought suit to recover
damages for being deprived of lease
of "A water power. This grew out of
a case that was tried in the court sew
eral terms ago when the Linn Woolen
Co. sued Brown for unrightful posses
sion of the water power. 1t went to
the law court and rescript was
handed down in favor of the defendant
in that case. At that time Brown
claimed that he had sub-leased the
water power for one year with a priv
ilege of leasing it thereafter three
more years. The new suit is to re-
cover damages for that time. The case
was reported to the law court on the
evidence. Merrill & Merrill appeared
for the plaintiff and Haley e. Morse
for the defendant.
Mrs Esther Olson won. a verdict of
s7G0 and her husband $691 in the su-
preme court Tuesday night. Mrs. Olson
of Anson brought suit against Fred
Withee and Reuel Norton OF Madison
for alleged assault, claiming that he
had sold her and her husband a horse
and it not proving satisfactory they
carried it back but the defendants
turned the horse around in the door
yard to lead it to the street and in do
ing so Mrs. Olson was injured, she al
legged, and is now in the hospital. Mr..
Olson brought another suit against
the plaintiffs for the loss of his wife's
work and for what he had paid out
for her injury.

Watch Small Cuts.

Many motorists do not realize the
Importance Of prompt attention TO
small cuts or injuries In their tires,
says l.. Gfeenwald, manager Of the
service department, tirestOne Tire
and Rubber Company. 1t i espec.
tally important, at this time Of the
year, that this warning be needed
A cut In the tread or cover OF the
case has a tendency to expand When
that part OF the tire Is In contact
with the road. This permits mud,
grit, pebbles and other foreign mat.
ter to lodge In the opening. When
the injured part Of the tire Is relieved
of the weight OF the car the foreign
matter which has accumulated acts
as a wedge and with each. revolution
of the wheel this foreign matter Is
forced further aud further between
the cover and fabric, not infrequenlly
completely separating them.
IL this separation Of the tread and
fabric Is neglected for any length Of
time It Is often necessary TO apply a
new cover. the fabric Is In very
good cundit Ion this can generally be
done IN a very satisfactory manner
but how much expense and trouble
can be saved by prompt attention
when the cut Is first made.
IT. sometimes happens that a tire
having a good cover and appearing all
.ght from the out side, fails to give
long service and the car owner Is as
tonished when he learns from u.
pair man that II Is not practical TO
rebuild the tire. This Is often due
TO water working through the neg
lected cuts In the cover and causing
decay and disintegration OF the fab
ric. The fabric constitutes the real
foundation and strength OF the tire
and, therefore, II is highly important
that It be protected.
Examine your tires carefully At reg
ulsr intervals and especially after
long trips. Tscks, glass or any other
matter which may have become I'm
