Nine Damage Suits From Accident In Flathead County
Nine damage suits totaling 47 750 were filed in Flathead county district court against Fred Reeves and Flathead county by Francis Poulson of Glasgow and Mr and Mrs Louis Kohle of Kalispell.

A coroner's jury on Sept 25 1936 found Reeves negligent and failing to approach intersections cautiously but said his vision was obscured by trees and shrubbery. Poulson seeks 38 500 and the Kohles 9 250.
