Wreck fallout leads to loan dispute in circuit court
A suit filed Saturday before Judge Howland stems from a prior loan arrangement connected to the Sullivan estate. In 1884 John E. Sullivan sought 8000 from Treasurer Loftin, who claimed 8700 in township school funds. Loftin authorized a loan with conditions that were allegedly unmet, prompting Many to sue Loftin to recover 3790 owed after a county warrant. The writ was made returnable in September due to court timing.
