VOLUME 62
CIRCUIT COURT

The jury in the case of city of Mani
towoc versus McMullen & PITT were
not long in deciding in a verdict in ia
vor of the defendant contractors. The
amount of damages in case of liability
was stipulated at $4,000. The answers
to the questions in the special verdict
were all in favor of the company and
against the city. The verdict amounts
to a finding of fact that the company
drove a cluster of protection piles at
the temporary Ninth street pontoon
about where the city engineer directed
them to, and that they were not guilty
of negligence resulting in the breaking
Of the city's water main crossing the
river there. The case was bitterly con
tested and lasted about five days.
The next case was an action by the
Fisher Fish company against two state
game wardens, Hendrickson and Egan,
for confscating a shipment of fish 1t
was a closed season for Green Bay and
the plaintiffs alleged that the fish had
been caught in Lake Michigan near
Washington Island and not in Green
bay. The wardens also alleged that the
fish were liable to confscation for i'm
proper labelling. The wardens were rep
resented by Atty. j. T. Dithmar of the
attorney generals staff. Both sides
made motions for a directed verdict
and the wardens' motion was granted,
and the case dismissed. 1t was an
nounced that the matter will go to the
supreme court
Following this the court took up the
case of Frank Mrotek VS. Frank Guse
Jr.. a dispute growing out of an auto
mobile collision on the Manitowoc-She-
boygan road last summer. Mrotek won
in municipal court and the matter is up
for retrial on appeal.
At the trial in municipal court the
plaintiff, Mrotek, had been awarded
Sl67. The defendant, Guse, feeling ag-
grieved at this, appealed and on the
new trial in circuit court the jury
awarded a verdict for plaintiff of $3.50,
The next case, taken up yesterday,
revolves around the shooting of dog.
Rabenhorst's dog invaded kugler's
premises, and after proceeding to chew
up the Kugler canine, was effecting
strategic retreat when Mr.. Kugler got
the range and laid down barrage that
brought to an untimely end the career
of the invader, In municipal court
RahcIhcrst was given about Sl75 as
the value of the valuable sheep dog
slain and Kugler appealed The law
says that "any person may kill any dog
found wounding or worrying any
horses, cattle, sheep, lambs or other
domestic animals" and one important
point in the case is whether or not
dog is domestic animal within the
meaning of the expression as used in
the statute. Another point occupying
lot of time is the monetary value of
the dead dog. For some reason not
easily guessed this dog case drew cap
actv houses in both courts. Residents
of the town of Rapids where the parties
reside were out in force.
