At the May term of the Superior Court the suit of Joseph Battle against Sumter County for 1575 dollars over seven mules will be tried. Battle alleges the county refused payment for mules bought by Commissioner Bolton and withheld a check because the delivered mules were shot.

He has hired Shipp & Sheppard as counsel and traveled to Americus to seek a hearing before the County Commissioners, who insist the mules differ from those selected and favor a jury trial.
