The officials who were out searching this morn- ing sald they wero unable to find any de- sirable houses in a convenlent location In the suburbs there are many vaeant houses, probably because many of the sub- urban residents have moved into the down- town portion of the city. Governor Dietrich has decidad to oceupy the executive mansion, but will probably placa the responsibility of housekeeping on elther one of the state oficers or his privata secretary, reserving only a suite of rooms for his own apartments.

Speclal.)— Bofore district court adjourned this week 4 number of Interesting cases were tried. In boom days Willlam Croft was the owner of a fine farm adjoluing the new ceme- tery on the north, which he divided and s0ld off fn small tracts. John B. Camp- bell became the purchaser of the ten-acre tract lying just east of the ten acres oc- cupied as a home by Mr. Croft. Campbell alleged that during the dividing and sell- ing off process Mr. Croft dedicated a public streot along the north side of the ceme- tery. Croft could not see It that way so closed up the road. The court sustained Campbell's contention and ordered defend- ant to remove obstructions within fifteen days; to refrain from further obstructing travel thereon and to pay plaintiff nominal damages in the sum of $50, with costs. Several years ago a farm belonging to Mrs. Theodosia Britt was sold under a mortgage foreclosure. Z. T. Osgood acted as ono of the appraisers. At the sheriff's sale Mr. Osgood appeared and bid in the farm in the name of his son. A few montis luter the son deeded the farm to his father, who had acted as an appraiser. Mrs. Dritt brought sult for right to re- deem, alleging as a principal ground that Osgood had not lived up to the Nebraska statute, which provides that an appraiser shall mot become @ purchaser, elther di- or tndirectly. Judge Adams entered within sixty days by relmbursing Mr. Os- good In the sum of $2,776, representing the actual amount which the court found was necessary to put Mr. Osgood in statu quo. In the replevin case of the Nebrask Moline Plow company to Minnie E. Stoner the court decided n favor of the plain- tff. The company had sold Stoner a qua tity of goods on the contract plan provid- ing that the title should remain In the vendor until pald for. Just before Stoner filed her application to go Into voluntary ankruptey the company replevined the goods. The trustee in the bankruptey in- tervened in the replevin sult, claiming tha goods in behalf of the general creditors. On conclusion of the sustalned the contention of the plaintiff und awarded the goods to the Moline Plow company, with costs. Two Judgraents and a Sentence.
