The suit was brought by v the plaintiff to recover a jackass, . :. which has been originally swapped him , by the defendant for a horse. The horse turned out to be "bellowsed" and died; Then' the de fendant obtained, through trick, it was alleged, the jackass. This was follow ed by the suit brought by Sneeden.

The motion was allowed, and then he made motion, resting on his rights in the case, to have the suit removed to Sampson county. This motion was also declined. Next, he sought the discre tion of the court in having the case removed, on account of making it easier for witnesses to attend court. JudgeT Lyon asked that his reasons be assigned in affidavit and he would then pass upon the last motion. " Shortly ' before mid-day a suit brought by' Mr. Z. W.

Last . season , Detroit was " not able to win a game, so figuring atthe rate of winning an additional gamp each year, there is a faint probability that D troit might win a series of games from Chicago, after trying to do so . five or six years.
