Light Week in District Court Plays Minor Roles
This week in the district court was light due to Attor ney Needham’s illness with most work tied to taxing cost bills. The court heard a Universalist church petition to sell real estate and ruled lack of jurisdiction under an repealed statute. Two divorces granted: Viola Bush and Howard Bush by desertion, and Lizzie Olson and Ole J Olson separated after nonresponse. The First National Bank of Lewiston vs. Samuel Markham entered default. Next week features eight cases, including several bank suits and a medical law constitutionality argument with Attorney-General Martin present. A busy docket expected to follow.
