SALTWATER.

After being in session continuously
for three weeks the May term of the
District Court of Brown County ad-
journed Saturday shortly before the
noon hour. The last case to be tried
was that of Pfaender & Erickson VS..
c. A. Heers, in which the jury after
brief delberation returned a verdict
in favor of the plaintiffs in the sum of
$1O7.30.
The Winner Loses.
In the case of Adam Breinbenbach
VS. Edward F. Berkner, the Jury re-
turned verdict in favor Of the plain
tiff and assessed his damages in the
sum of $3.50. The plaintiff sued for
$500 and the defendant admitted his
indebtedness to the plaintiff in the
sum of $3.50. Although the plaintiff
won his case, he lost in reality because
no greater verdict was returned than
the offer of judgment and he will have
to pay the costs and disbursements.
Melzer Loses Suit.
Theodore Meier lost his case a.
gainst j. E. Gould and the New Ulm.
Turnverein. in this proceeding the
plaintiff Asked for an Injunction and
three questions were submitted to the
Jury. These questions were decided
by the jury against Mr.. Meier and
this will naturally dispose of the suit.
Witness Refuses Oath.
Quite a number of unimportant
cases were disposed of during the lat
ter part of the week. In the case of
L. A. Sandberg VS. Anton Zeug the jury
was directed to bring in verdict in
favor of the plaintiff in the sum of
$95.25. In this case really only one
side was tried, the defendant refusing
to be sworn when called upon to testi-
fy III his own behalf. ....
In the case of F. V. Reaney VS. John
Brey in which the plaintiff attempted
to recover nearly $500 from the defen-
dant, the jury brought in a verdict in
his favor in the sum of $117.50.
Several Cases Settled.
The case of j. A. Brudeli VS. Alex
Ahlgren ct al was settled after the
jury had been empaneled and some of
the testimony introduced. The plain
tiff sued the defendant for damages
amounting to $14O0 for failure to car
ry out his building agreement. The
case was settled by the defendant
agreeing to pay plaintiff the sum of
$3.50.
When the case of The Twin City
Co. VS. Ed F. Berkner was reached it
was reported by the attorneys that
the case had been settled as per stipu-
lation on file. According to this stipu-
lation, judgment is to be rendered in
favor of Berkner and against the Twin
City Company in the sum OF $285.l1.
The case of the New Ulm Roller
Mill Company against Frank Darcy
was settled and disposed of by the de-
fendant agreeing to pay the plaintiff
the sum of $1700. Judgment had been
recovered against the defendant in
the sum of $1801.70. some time ago,
The judgment was re-opened however
by Judge Olson for the purpose of al
lowing the defendant to put in an
answer.
The case of W. Markland and Geo
Snyder VS. County of Brown was dis
missed by plaintiff without costs.
During the term twelve civil jury
cases were tried and six criminal cases
All of the civil jury cases have beer
disposed of except the case of H. L
Hoidale VS. Ida Vogtel and the case o1

Judge Johnson of Red Wing before
whom the latter case was previously
tried could not arrange to be here al

that the case will be tried September

told by Judge Olson that they might
be called back to try this case at the
time stated above.
