dent and congress in any action
necessary to maintain the honor of
the United States, by a resolution
passed by the New York assembly

on the premise that "a crisis in the
relations of the United States and

Carl Carlson Against Casualty

Actions
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily.
Attorney Ivan Bowen left late to-
day for ST.. Paul to appear before the
state supreme court at the calling of
the calendar tomorrow morning. He
has three cases before that court.
One of these is the suit brought
by Herman Hack as administrator
of the estate of Hubert Hack against
Charles Pollei, Henry Fricke and T.
NJ. Coughlan. A jury in the Blue
Earth county court awarded the
plaintiff verdict in the sum of $3.50
against the defendants. T. M.
Coughlan took an appeal to the su-
preme court.
This case grew out of the shooting
and killing of Hubert Hack by
Charles Pollei when the latter was a
policeman Arthur Schaub is at
torney for the plaintiff and Ivan
Bowen and John E. Regan are hand
ling the case for the defense.
The Carlson Case.
Another of the cases is that of
Carl Carlson against the Casualty
Company of America. This company
was the one that furnished employ
ers' liability insurance to William c..
Frazer, sewer contractor, of ST. Paul
In that case the Blue Earth county
district court gave verdict of 3d.
600, being 50 a week for 400 weeks,
to Carlson on account of the loss of
his eyes. He lost his eyes in the en-
ploy of Frazer in the summer Of 1914
at Redwood Falls.
The insurance company appealed
the case to the supreme court. Ivan
Bowen is attorney for the plaintiff
and Barrows, Stewart & Ordway of
st. PAU for the company.
The other case is that of the state
against Ralph Macbeth, who was
convicted of assault in the second
degree and sentenced to the reform
atory at st. Cloud. He is out on
bond, pending the determination of
the appeal. Mr.. Bowen is attorney
for the defendant,
