FORSYTHE CASE DECIDED.

The case of Forsythe vs. the city of Rensselaer, appeal from street assessments as fixed by the city council, was decided by Judge Lairy of Logansport, yesterday; he taking S4O from the assessment of Mr. Forsythe and adding it to the assessment of A. Leopold, leaving all other assessments as they were. This does not reduce the former's assessment 10 per cent, and throws him in for costs. Plaintiff asked for new trial which was refused and the case will be appealed to the supreme court, we understand. Leopold has 30 feet more frontage on the improved street than Mr. Forsythe, and also has three business rooms fronting on some where Forsythe has but one. In all fairness the assessment of both these properties should have been the same per lineal foot. Embroideries 1 cent to SI.OO a yard. Chicago Bargain Store.
