two cases and had a chance to see After Judge Brown had decided that no one could shut up Snyder De Wolf shut him up so effectually that one look at his face was worth a pay But then since Newt thinks he is big enough to hold all the offices in the country any thing looks tame to him that got an office in it The common law term of the county court convened Monday June 8th Judge George Brown presiding There were only two cases of much im portance tried The first was a case from Downers Grove The National Buggy Co sued Courtright on a note of hand given for a lot of buggies There was no dispute abaut the note on the amount due but the defendants claimed a set off because the buggies were not up to the warranty and were not as good as represented The Co made a great bluster about putting their catalogue in evidence by which they sought to show that they would not be responsible for any failure in their workj but in which there were very distinct specifications as to how the work was to be made The Judge very properly ruled that this was a warranty of the work and material and gave Courtright credit for just what expert testimony showed it would cost to make the work what their spec ifications called for about $12500 The parties were represented by Goodrich for the plaintiff and Slus ser for the defendants two about as gentlemanly lawyers as practice in Du Page county The other case was tried by jury Tuesday Some three years ago Robert Lockman then purchasing agent for the Chicago Naperville Malting Brewing Co purchased a span of hbrses of John Weisbrock as he Lockman claims for the Brewing Co for $28000' and they were turned right into the stables of the company and re mained as their property until sold by the receiver of the company Weis brook never got his pay for the horses and afte'r'hearly three years sued Lock than for the purchase price The jury found for the defendant they being of the opinion that the evidence showed that the team was sold to
