CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

In the case OF tne St2te versus her
bert Gauger the jury returned a ver-
dict OF mot Guilty" upon each of the
three charges against the defendant.
He was charged with stealing motor
cycle, with concealing it knowing it
was stolen and with concealing anoth-
er stolen motorcycle.
The court then set the cases grow
ing out OF the accident at the Two
Rivers crossing last September for
trial Monday afternoon and adjourned
for the week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bauman and daughter
Theresa were guests OF Frank Kucera
and wife in an automobile when the
car was struck by train leaving Two
Rivers and of the five only the girl
survived. The estates of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bauman and Miss Bauman, by guar
dian, are each suing. In each of the
three cases the defendants are the es-
tate of Frank Kucera and the G. & N.
w. Railway Co. The crossing is
within the Two Rivers city limits.
The lawyers say that at a city grade
crossing where there is no electric
gong, no gates and ne hagman the
trains may not run over II miles per
hour and that il excessive speed OF the
train causes the accident "a slight
want of ordinary care" on the part of
the person injured will not defeat the
recovery OF damages; that the drivers
negligence, If any, is the negligence OF
all thepassengers as far as the railroad
Is concerned. To hold both Kucera' s
estate and the Railway Company the
plaintiff was required to show this
''slight want of ordinary care" and not
bit more. The court required the
complaint to be amended so as TO al
lege Just that want OF care on Kucera's s
part or tie company would have been
released.
Over 20 witnesses were examined.
The girl, aged sixteen, told her story
briefly and simply. She said that her
father called to Kucera to stop when
the collision seemed certain and he re-
piled 81 can't" Other witnesses tes-
titled that his car was slowing when
struck, negativing any attempt on
Kucera's part to cross ahead OF the
train. There was large amount Of test
imony on the speed of the train, most
of the company's witnesses on this ad.
hitting that it was travelling over II
miles per hour. The occupants of two
other cars one approaching from Two
Rivers and one behind Kucera from
Manitowoc testified as did other eye
witnesses.
Contrary to common belief Kucera
did not pass standing car in approach
ing the crossing. The arguments be-
gan yesterday afternoon and the case
may get to the jury before noon to-day.
The court has prepared verdict OF
ten questions calling for answers as to
the negligence OF the Company, of Ku-
cera and of Bauman and the degree of
the want OF care, if any, and the amount
of damages. This three cornered battle
has created many unusual situations
and some new statutes are involved
that have not been interpreted by the
courts. Mr.. Van Doren represents the
Company, Hope Thompson OF Chicago,
and Kelley and Wyseman the plaintiff
and E. S, Schmitz and Healy & Joyce
the Kucera Estate. Only one case is
being tried and the other two Kucera
cases will not be tried at this term.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES.
F0RTY-FOUR YEARS AGO.

THE CROPS. We hear the most en-
couraging reports from the farmers OF
our county, who while at the Pilot OF.
flee to subscribe or pay in advance for
The Pilot, report the crop prospect is
most promising. Jacob Grimm, one OF
the old and substantial farmers Of The
county says crops never promised q
a more abundant harvest at this time
OF year than now, that all the grain
looks dark and thrifty. John McAllen
also corroborates MIR. Grimm, predicts
a bountiful harvest In his section.
These are very encouraging reports
for late spring.

AS far as it has been possible to do
termine all of our graded schools hay o
served warm lnnches during the great
er part of tho winter. Then also there
were twenty-four one department
schools that furnished warm noon day
lunch more or less regul,ily during the
greater part of the year. All of the
graded schools have an oil stove and
about eight OF the rural schools have
one. The others used the stove in the
room for preparing the warm meal.
Next year there will undoubtedly be a
larger number OF schools that will take
it.upon themselves to furnish something
warm for the pupils at least during the
cold winter months.
