Hoffman Dismissed by Direction of Judge Webb. The last jury case, that of Victoria Nowak vs. George Hoffman, was disposed of late Wednesday afternoon, when at the close of the plaintiff's testimony Judge Webb held that she had failed to make out a case and dismissed the suit. B. B.

Park and D. I. Sicklesteel represented the plaintiff and MeFarland Murat the defendant. The principal contention of the plaintiff in the case was based upon an obscure figure in the official city plat. Mrs.

Nowak claimed that the figure was 8 and Mr. Hoffman that it was or should be a If it were a "5" Mrs. Nowak's land would extend 20 feet over into Mr. Hoffman's garden. If it were a the fences would remain practically as they are now and have been for the last thirty years or more.

In case Mrs. Nowak's claim was substantiated the Hoffman lot would be pushed over into Meadow street by 20 feet. The Judge based his decision in the case on the location of the fences. These are the same now as when her lots were purchased by her husband many years ago and he held that these fences really determined the bounds of the land purchased rather than the figures placed on the plat, probably in error by the engineer who drew the same. The case of Albert Krutza vs.

Mamie Biardasz is on trial today before the court. This is a case brought for the recession of a contract." McFarland Murat appear for the plaintiff and B. B. Park for the defendant. In the case of the State of Wisconsin vs.

William Welch the judge imposed a fine of $100 and costs or sixty days in jail. This is the case in which the State sued Mr. Welch for serving oleomargerine at the Soo line lunch counter several months ago without displaying proper signs. Mr. Welch was allowed to go on his own recognizance until Tuesday, by which time it is expected an appeal will be taken to the supreme court.

As has been previously stated, Mr. Welch is merely the represensative of the railway in this case. He simply served what was furnished him and in the way he understood it should be served.

Mrs. Henry Curran Passes Away at Her Home on Main Street After Long Illness. Mrs. Henry Curran passed away at her home at 1011 Main street at 8:30 this morning after al long period of declining health. Since Monday she had been in a very critical condition, the final summons being momentarily expected.

Julia Adelade Walker was born at Bath, Steuben county, N. on Nov. 18, 1842. She came to Plover with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.

James Walker when she was a child and grew to womanhood in the village. On Oct. 11, 1866, she was married to Major Henry Curran, recently returned from the army, and a few weeks later they came to Stevens Point to take charge of the Curran house, which continued to be the family home with short intermissions, until it was destroyed by tire a year ago. During the intervening years, Mrs. Curran has lived a very active and useful life and has built up an quaintance that extends to almost every corner of the land.

The hotel was always regarded as the leading local hostelry and many distinguished guests were entertained there. Probably no woman in the community has had more varied personal interests and surely none have worked more steadily and successfully for the upbuilding of Stevens Point than has Mrs. Curran. She was interested in church, school and society in general, and every sensible movement for the uplift and betterment of society had her cordial support. Her absence will be keenly felt in all the departments of work in the Episcopal church, public library board, Woman's club, Eastern Star, and among her numerous personal friends and proteges.

Mr. and Mrs. Curran are survived by two children, Miss Florence G. and Henry, both at home. An older son, John, passed away on March 31, 1899.

A nephew of Mrs. Curran, Russell Walker, was raised by them from infancy to manhood and was generally known in his boyhood as Russell Curran. He is now located at Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Curran also leaves one sister, Mrs.

W. L. Arnott of this city. Mr. Curran passed away on May 1, 1907.

The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon. There will be prayer at the residence, followed ty public service in the Episcopal church at 3 o'clock, Rev. E. M. Thompson.

Interment will follow in Forest cemetery. The Baptist church at their last quarterly meeting voted to retain the Baptist cottage as it has been used for the past six months.
