Keokuk. Feb. 10--The Iowa supreme
court Tuesday reversed the case Of
Charles Hubenthal VS.. Judge John Glib.
bons. This was an interesting case,
and jury gave the plaintiff judgement
for $5S5.37.
The case grew out of the payment Of
a note for $1S75O. Hubenthal claimed
that the note was paid without his con-
sent or knowledge out Of his own per-
sonal account in the old Commercial
bank, of which Edmund Jaeger, ST.,
was the head, and which failed several
years ago. Hubenthal said he knew
nothing about the transaction until the
note was turned over to him by the re-
ceiver, George Marley at the instance
of the referee. This was the first in
timation he had of the transaction.
He commenced suit for the amount
against Judge Gibbons of Chicago. The
statute of limitations was said not to
apply in this case because of Gibbons
being a nonresident. The jury in
June, 1913, rendered verdict for Hub.
entEal of s58537. The new trial motion,
later was overruled.

cloaks of travelling reserve and became

appointed guardian of the stove, an
other was declared "the handy man Of
the COACH" while a third tramped to
the nearest farm house for food In
due course Of time this Santa Claus re-
turned with big basket of meat
sandwiches, hot coffee and an invita-

The hearty hospitality Of Mrs. Jacob
son and the good food put all in a
happy mood. A violin was brought
forth, stories told and songs sung, so
that the six hours wait dragged for
