COWS IN CORN.
LAWSUIT BORN
Case From DeIlona With a Claim
and Counter-Claim---Best Crop
Grown in Town
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

Cows and horses getting into field
Of corn belonging to a neighbor, are
not only likely to be sick, but are
liable to cause a lawsuit. This is
what happened in Dellona.
Bolestaw Preyweiczerski had six
acres of corn last year, which was not
enclosed by a fence There were 70
shocks when cut, and in October six
teen shocks were destroyed and 9th
ers were damaged by a. number OF
COWS and horses belonging to Max Ko-
walski getting into the field. He shut
the COWS up and for two days they
were not milked. This was detrimen-
tai to the COWS, and the owner claims
the loss was 5000. Preyweiczerski
says the loss of corn amounted to
$3.50. He claims the field of corn was
the very best in all the town of Del
Iona.
The jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff, the one who owned the corn,
for $500. In justice court the
amount fixed was $191, so this makes
a virtual victory for the defendant.
The counter-claim was disallowed.
The witnesses: Max Kowalski,
Bolestaw Preywieczerski. Sallie Tom
asczevsky, Joe Hudzinski Joe Tom

The case of Andrew Nelson against
J. Van Orden and others has been
settled The sum of about $4,000 had
been deposited in the Bank of Baraboe
by the plaintiff, Andrew Nelson, whe
