stables attacked his assailants. After
10 minutes the crowd was driven into
the streets and the demonstration
ceased.
The trouble began when it was mis-
takenly reported that the jury had found
all defendants not guilty. The report
brought a wild cheer from the court and
Immediately Justice Metcalfe ordered

ness in Winnipeg last summer and was
extended to departments of the city and

or of Mrs. Laura A. Shepley, Chicago,
who was sued for $32O23 by William G..
Mueller, Chicago business man, was hand
ed down in district court here by Judge
JIG. Michael. Mueller sought to re-
cover the amount which he alleged Mrs.
Shepley obtained from him by fraud and
intrigue. Costs Of the case assessed
against Mueller, who was granted forty
days in which to take steps for new
trial or an appeal.
An intensive campaign of love making
and money getting began when Mueller
met Mrs. Shepley on train en- route from
Chicago to New York, Judge Michael said.
and he summed up this phase of the case
in the phrase:
Laura wanted the money"
The court also found that Mueller was
actuated by unworthy motives and said
it was not within his functions to ap-
portion the guilt between them, but to
leave them to the consequences Of their
mutual wrongdoings.
Charles r. Shepley, husband Of the
defendant, was a party to the suit, but

tanned by his wife and innocent Of any
