IntrwwM lit g^Wnd Trial to $13,750. Sears, Roebuck & Co., the Chicago mail order' house, has been ordered by the courts to pay damages of $18,750 to Churles A. Sticfeney & Co., St. Paul, Minn., manufacturers of gasoline en­ gines. It is the result of a suit in which it was shown that Sears, Roebuck & Co. had fraudulently listed gasoline engines in their catalogues at a higher horse power than the euginea possessed. In the first trial judgment was given against Sears, Roebuck & Co. for $10,000. An appeal was taken and a new trial granted on technical grounds, but the second award was even higher than the first--$13,^50. It was shown in court that Sears Roe buck & Co. had tried to Involve Stick- ney & Co. in the wrong doing, by asking them to make the same fraudulent claims of horse power in the Stickney catalogue. This they did not succeed in doing. It was shows in court that Sears, Roebuck & Co. listed a 3f horse power engine in their "Big Book" as a 3 horse power engine, one of 4i horse power as a 5 horse power engine, one of 5 horse power as a 6 horse power engine and so on all along the line. It is estimated that Sears, Roebuck & Co., made from |15.00 to |20.00 additional on each en gine by means of the higher rated horse power. It is an easy matter for dealers to ad­ vertise that they sell machines cheaper than other dealers, but when it is shown in court, as in this case, that the engines are not of the capacity advertised, it is wise for people who send> their money to catalogue houses to know that they get what they order before they crow over their neighbor that they are baying cheaper than those who pnrchase from manufacturers allowing the purchaser to have the machine pnt in and tested to see if it comes up to the guarantee before he is compelled to pay for it. It will be borne in mind that Sears, Roebuck & Co. sell the "Economy Chief" cream separator, and that they have made very extravagant claims in their advertisement in regard to this separator, and that it is wise for people who send their money for these machines to be sure that they get what they have ordered and paid for in advance, before they can see or test the article.

Baird, with a ^conipanion, was bunting in the big woods near Barre­ ville Sunday afternoon. They had laid their guns in a pile of snow and pro­ ceeded to beat about a brush pile to scare out several rabbits. _ As the game ran oat of the pile of brush the two men reached quickly for their guns and in some way Baird's was discharged, the entire charge of shot tearing the right arm from the shoulder. His companion could not carry him to the road on ac­ count of the deep snow and by the time that help was summoned, Baird was chilled and faint from loss of blood. He was taken to Crystal Lake, where Dr. Freeman ordered that he* be taken to Chicago to a hospital. This was done, hot Baird ditfd aft nins o'clock la the evening. .

He is lying in Mercy hospital, Chicago, where be suf­ fered an operation for gall stones a few weeks ago. His serious condition is cause for genuine regret on the part of his host of friends in Wauconda and thruout Lake and McHenry counties, where he is well known. For years Dr. Dawson has enjoyed the reputation of being one of the best, perhaps thejbest, known doctors in this part of the state. He has lived in Wau­ conda the greater part of his life and thru his practice of medicine has been the means of saving many lives. In fact, his name is a family watchword, almost synonomous with sickness , He iB a man who was not in the busi­ ness for all the money that he could get out of it--in fact he took genuine pleas ure in ministering for the sick tho he knew that he would receive no pay. Qe was satisfied if he received enough money from those who could afford to pay to keep up a comfortable existence. Hundreds Of times he cared for pa­ tients where he knew from the start that he would receive no pay because they were not able to spend money. Bat this fact made no difference, the poor receiving the same painstaking care as those able to pay. Day after day he would call upon them, using bis own medicines without charge, seeming satisfied if his patients recovered thru his ministrations. There is a prayer on the tongues of every resident of Wauconda and hun­ dreds of close friends thrueut the coun­ ty for his recovery. | A W retched Mistake >.

Dealers in horse feed are anticipating a high price for hay next spring or dur­ ing the later winter mouths. People who buy in quantities are forced to pay $13 a ton for hay of a fair quality, while choice timothy hay is now worth $17 or $18 a ton in Chicago. The retail price is a dollar or so in advance of this figure. Farmers confidently expect that hay will sell for $20 per ton before pasturing opens in the snmuier, while the price may exceed that figure before the new crop of hay is gathered. The reason for this price is due to the fact that this is a particularly severe winter and also from the fact that farmers cannot get the product to town with ease. Hay is not at all scarce, but th<> price asked is high in comparison to prices of former years. the furs! fins! If Highest m a r k e t p r i c e s p a i # furs of every de­ scription. them to us.
