John son and others, in which the jury awarded property valued at ; about (100,000 to the plaintiffs, the court set aside the verdict and the case is now on the civil issue docket lor a new trial.

The prop erty in question Is located In the very heart of the business district of the city. Including the residence of Mark W. Brown, the Annandale dairy site. the site of the D. C. Shaw Motor company and other property. The defendants based their argu ments for a decision to set the ver diet aside on three points, first that the verdiot was contrary to the great er : weight of the evidence; second that Juror J. R. Garren talked to W. P. Brown during the progress of the trial, regarding the case; third that Juror R. F. Munday is related to one of the plaintiffs in the case. In order of the oourt states that the court finds that Garren after be ing cautioned by the court, talked to Brown and that Munday is related to the plaintiff Weaver. The order reads, "Without passing upon the question as to whether or not the verdict Is contrary to the greater weight of the evidence, the court nevertheless, In the exercise of its discretion, Is of the opinion that the .verdict should be set aside and so orders." In case the appeal is not taken up the case will be on the docket for a new trial at the next term of civil court . ,., ..( , NEW BASKETBALL LEAGUEJTY.M.C.A.
