For the first time In the history of
the city , federal court was hold in
Norfolk with nn actual case tried , this
morning.
Judge Munger of Omaha opened the
court at 10 o'clock , when a case pre
sented by Senator Allen of Mndlson ,
came up for attention and was re
manded for trial In the district court.
This was the case of Schumbaum vs.
the American Beet Sugar company ,
which had been appealed to the federal -
oral court by the plaintiff. Schuni-
baum was Injured at the Norfolk sugor
factory , breaking an ankle and receiv
ing other Injuries. Ho was represent
ed by Allen & Reed of Madison and
13. P. Woathorby of Norfolk. The defendant -
fondant was represented by Powers

federal building presented an attrac
tive appearance upon the occasion of
its initial service , being decorated
with flowers which had been provided
by the Commercial club as a token ol
the city's appreciation of the holding
of federal court in Norfolk.
The room Is light and comfortable ,
though there are still some minor Im
provements to bo attended to.
Heretofore court has always been
opened and then , for want of a flitting
room , adjourned to Omaha , but it Is
thought that Norfolk now that the
oral building will be the seat of
court sessions regularly in the future
with juries summoned.

from Omaha. ,
C. E. Burnham donated a box of
