.'Rascally Trick Judge Thought.

"Rascally Trick Judge Thought.
II felt at first that it was a rascally
trick. that he ought not to be allowed to
get away with said Judge Peter in de-
livering his opinion on the motion for
new trial in the suit against John c.
Brengle. real estate agent, for alleged
fraud .but after more elaboration I
have come to the conclusion that the
transaction was within the bounds of
the law" hi
Brengle was accused of fraud in
transaction surrounding a note that he
had given to Mr.. HORNE and on which
Mr.. Gittnger was endorser. BreneIe
rendered a check in payment Of the note,
dating the check several days ahead,
and declaring that he would have funds
in the bank on that date, sufficient to
pay the check. The check was accepted,
and Brengle promptly tore up the note.
which was the only evidence Of indebted
ness. When Brengle's check was pre-
scented at the bank for payment, there
We're not sufficient funds TO his credit to
pay it, and suit was filed against him and
MIR. Gittinger as surety.
The court held at that time, that
although the transaction had 4 SHADY"
look, the destruction of the note had
made the rendition of judgment impos-
sible, especially against surety, and the
suit was decided in favor ofthe defendant.
Edgar H. Mcbride and George A.
Pearre, attorneys for Mr.. HORNE, filed a
motion for new trial, which Judge
Peter oVeruled on Monday.
''If the plaintiff chose to give I'D the
note that he held and accepted worth
less paper in Its place" SAID Judge Pc.
ter, lit was not the business of this court
to look after his interests. He had a
good note and he had Mr., Gittinger as
surety. If Mr.. HORNE chose to give that
note up to surrender Gittinger's surety.
ship, he had right to do it, and if he
took check payable five DAYS after it
was dated, he simply agreed to accept
the promise of the maker of that check to
pay it afterwards. The quality of the
contract is never judged by its DURATION"

matter which should first go to the MEM
bers of the Lutheran congregation.

feels that the terms of the contract are
very liberal. In the first place it settles

land and secures for the church consid-
cradle value.

ably stolen, as the church never received
any revenue from them.

with coal, but how extensive these de
posts are, cannot be learned. 1t is
stated that the railroad is now being con-
structed through the land and that some
