Farmer Bings 1850 Dollar Suit Over Bull Trespass

In Jones county district court on October 20, Marvin Engelbart filed a $1,850 damage suit against Lyle Thumma. The complaint states that on August 7, 1960 a bull owned by Thumma trespassed into A. R. Embree’s pasture where Engelbart’s nine Holstein heifers and William Carlson’s four Guernsey heifers were pastured. Carlson’s $500 claim was transferred to Engelbart. Plaintiff alleges Thumma failed to maintain a adequate fence and kept the bull in the pasture despite knowing the fence was deficient.
