Replevin Case Involving Teeth Ordered By Mrs Benedict
In Grand Rapid Michigan an replevin suit seeks possession of a set of teeth worn by Mrs Benedict for over a month. Barton allegedly delivered teeth to Mrs Benedict under an installment plan and her husband signed notes for 8100. She claims the teeth were not the order and were locked away until full payment. The dispute includes extra charges for additional work and a protest by the wife. The husband later attempted a deferral, which was refused at a hotel. Also notes executives meeting in Chicago over mine strikes and coal operators signaling possible concessions to end the anthracite strike. Resignations at Chicago and Alton lines prompt consolidation and a new eastern division led by B Ryder with headquarters in Bloomington. An Aurora Missouri report highlights a walking stick claimed as the oldest in the state, owned by W J Gmain.
