DEFENDANTS Will 1 , I Supreme Court Passes on Case Relating to Sale of Liquors. Administrator Net the One to Bring Action for Damages in the Event of Deatn. The Widow or Whoever Suffers Personally Is the One to Sue for Damages. Indianapolis. Feb. 27. —The supreme court has affirmed a judgment for the defendants in the suit by Harry S. Couchman as administrator of his father's estate against some Thorntown saloon keepers for making the father so drunk that he fell out ot his buggy and broke his neck. The charge was that the defendants knew the elder Couchman had an uncontrollable appetite for liquor, and. after selling him enough to make him drunk, they continued to sell him liquor until he was in a half-conscious condition. The supreme court holds that the i sales, having been made a. the request and with the consent of Couchman. were not such a wrong as to give his administrator cause for action. R says that the liquor law gives an action in such a case to the wife, or minor children, or other person "who shall sustain any injury or damage to his person or property or means of support” on account of the saloon keeper's act. B»t the administrator is held not to be within this class. The court says that the widow or whoever else is entitled to damages must sue in person to recover them Couchman left a widow and five children, all oi whom were grown. LAND FRAUD IS ALLEGED Suit to Set Aside Conveyance of a Valuable Farm. Laporte. Ind.. Feb. 27. —Mary DeWolfe. of Aurora. 111., has brought suit in the Laporte circuit court to set aside the conveyance of a $12,000 farm in this county and for SI,OOO damages. Halliwell and Mary Marchall, of Lincoln. Ill.; Charles L. Will, of Chicago, and C. H. Lovewell and Ivah Stephens, of Illinois, are defendants. The plaintiff alleges that she accepted an offer to sell the 1-aporte county farm, accepting a $7,000 mortgage on a ranch in Christian county. Mo. and a $5,000 mortgage on the farm included in the conveyance. She further alleges that the mortgage on the Missouri land is worthless and that the no’es given to secure payment of mortgage on the farm are not properly signed and therefore void. Guilty Under the Law. Huntington, Ind., Feb. 27. —A circuit court jury has found James M. Barrett, superintendent of the Chicago &. Erie railway, with headquarters in this city, guilty of the charge of per- I mitting and requiring an employe to i remain on duty longer than sixteen ' hours without eight hour's rest, and he was fined S2O and costs. Edward Hseter. a fireman, recently discharged by the company, was the prosecuting witness. Progress in the case has j been watched with interest, as the \ point of law involved has never been | passed upon by the supreme court. An appeal will likely be taken by the company, which is supporting the defendant. while Heeter la backed oy his former fellow-employes. Too Much Excitement for Her. Liberty. Ind.. Feb. 27. —Mrs. A.
