Peculiar Salt in Which Three Interpreters Are Required
In Judge White's Common Pleas No 2 a case pitting Nicholas Moskum against Michael Balkovitz to recover 240 dollars unfolds with three interpreters and mixed languages. Flooding on the Allegheny in October 1890 left Moskum's money in his pocketbook lost when Balkoviz failed to recover it after a boat accident.
