Boston Wins $285.95 Verdict Against Keystone Pearl Button Co
The jury awarded W. F. Boston $285.95 in the case against The Keystone Pearl Button Company, far more than the slight over two hundred dollars sued. Attorney C. A. W. Kent represented the plaintiff, while M. W. Stapleton defended the defendant. A separate suit, Drs. Fulhiam and Miller vs Herman and Bierman, for $194.50, centers on a disputed doctor’s bill with $19.59 admitted and remaining $175 contested over services for “Gertie.” The case will continue through the day. Also noted are marriage licenses issued to James H. Lockwood and Vannie E. Fowler, Hugh F. Berry and Etta F. Bradbury, a tax rush at the county treasurer, and a bill of sale transferring stock and fixtures of a Second Street cigar store for $2,100. County court reports show no criminal cases this term, with two indictments expected to be resolved.
