County court action over car crash on Irontown Hardman road
Dr C M Severe former Philippi physician sought 1538.23 damages after his car rolled down a bank on the Irontown Hardman road when the bank gave way while passing another vehicle. The court refused the full claim and later refused the immediate settlement of 1355.00. Mrs Severe was injured, and the court inspected the site with the prosecutor. The road, once a tram line, was taken over by the county and is narrow in places making passage difficult. The plaintiff may sue the county. Sheriff New filed a settlement from 1924 to 1925 with canceled checks, and the court ordered Walter Currey to obtain county sewer pipe from Ereel Lambert.
