The hearing of the case of L. n,
Vath against Joseph Weichmann
took place at st. Cloud, Mimi, last
week. The suit arose over the re-
fusal Of Nj. Weichmann to pay GER
tain notes given for the purchase of
the Watertown Commercial college a
year or SO ago. 1t seems that a part
of the purchase price had been paid,
but the payment of the balance was
resisted on the ground that there
had been Misrepresentation by the
Vaths to Mr.. Weichmann concerning
the number of students in attendance
at the time of the purchase. The re-
suit of the trial has not as yet been
a~nnounced. The college here was
absorbed by the Watertown Business
University some time last fall.
