passed to prevent an increase in

Attorney z. G.. F. Meier was at Rich
land Center last week where he tried
a case similar to the silo case heard
in Baraboo few days ago. In the
Richland county case a Boston firm
sued a firm when the party held the
note the same as at Baraboo. There
is no way of accounting for the note
being in the hands of the maker ex-
cept that it was sent by mistake to
him instead of a firm for collection.
In the Baraboo case Mrs. Williams tes-
tilted she paid the value of the note to
a stranger but the silo firm held it was
sent to bank for collection. In the
Baraboo case the jury found for the
defendant, A, Williams, but in the
Richland Center case the jury failed
to agree.
