County to decide on jury trials in lunacy cases
County officials plan to seek County Judge Davis's return from a camping trip north of Kerrville to decide whether to restore jury trials in lunacy cases to save county funds. Dr Berrey and the county commissioners back trials by jury only where the estate can pay costs. otherwise, trials by commission would be used to avoid expenses.

A husband and wife split a torn $5 bill, each claiming the other half. the government awarded $2.50 to each.
