! __ e — OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. LINCOLN NEWS AND GOSSIP, Beveral Interesting Cases Got Into the Courts. THE LIVE STOCK COMMISSION. It is Defended By One of Its Par- ticular Friends —Pastor Mine hart Still Wears His War Paint. 1020 P Sraeet, LiscoL¥, Feb, 20, The argument in the case of Darrow vs jraves & Son, nursery men and florists of Lixcors BUREAT oF TiE Ovans Brn, } Bandwich, I, before Judge Ficld and the Jury, was continued in the district court this morning, This was a case in replevin, in- tended to ascortain the right of property at the of revlevin, the property cousisting of fruit troes, fine shrubs and fine bulbs, footing a bill of §135, which had been sold by on agent of Graves & Son in 1886, then a resident of Lincoln. he plaintiff claimed thatas a part of the consideration he let this agent have two suits of clothing (one for the ngent and one forthe sub-ag whom he em- ployed), of the of $1i5, on the bill against him for t He did this becauso the agent claimed to have a right thus to decd, and _as u fact he had thus _dealt with other tradesmen of the city. The bill of trees was scnt on, but the distribution was in charge of another agent, who refused to ratify the clothing contract, and also refused the &4 due as a balance. Therefore the plaintiff replevined the shrubbery, which he claimed nearly all died after planting. The defense utterly repudiated having given the Lincoln agent any authority to dispose of any of their goods by barter; aud further said that from the testimony given for the plain- Liff it appearcd to the witnesses for the de- fense that tho shrubbery, bulbs, et al, which died, had not been properly treated. The Jury found that the right of possession of the property was in the plaintiff at the time of replovin, and assessed damages of one eent for unlawful detention. To-day Jude H. Brady, of the fir: Judicial district, is trying a snag of a divorc case, complicated with an interwoven action to set aside a deed to proper he divorce Buit i that of Elizabeth DPaden vs. Josiah Paden, and the suit to set_aside the deed that of Josiah Paden vs. abeth Paden. "The testimony is compl | but 8o far as it had gone at the time : representi- tive left the court room it appeared that the demand for the divorce was founded upon alleged cruelty, to which the defendant re- sponds by denial. The two suits io their end will probably determine the relations of the partics, 'I'he mony is rich, rare and racy, and furmshes a chapter in the history of the district court of Lancaster county that has no parailel. 8. P. Moberly joined Charles S. Jones in nction to-day. The plaintiff's petition makes allegations that will pus Mr. Jones in an un- enviable position if he substantiates them. 1t appears that Moberly put Jones in charge of o drug business soime months ago at St. Charles, which was moved to this city. The stock of goods, valued at $1,800, was con- veyed to the defendant withiout' considera- tion, and on the surf: he seemed to be monarch of the possessions in his charge. Matters run smoothly until recently, when Moberly discovercd that Jones had mort- gaged a portion of the goods without cou sulting him and therefore without author- ity under their agreement. When brought to task for the gction Jones asserted owner- ship, which leads Moberly to bring suit, upon contract, oral, but witnessed, and on the sur- face it seems that the defendunt has been realizing money upon property tk.at does not Dbelong to him.

From the former it was deduced that nothing had been learned of the stabbing affray for several days after it occurred. Then it came out by Boylan getting arrested and lodged in the city jail for drunkenncss, when he plained to the officer of ' suffering wound in the right side. He said that it was ade by his being thrown against a meat hook in a butcher-shop. The plaintift testi- fied that he didn't think Brandon had cut him intentionally.
