Kimball case ends with not guilty verdict on coal theft
James H Gridley was arrested in Kimball on a coal theft charge from UP railway. Two witnesses proved the theft and he almost confessed, but the jury acquitted him. Gridley then had a pump house guard arrested for trespass and denied land access until further court action. Judge Heist and Eubank served restraining papers to prevent interference with company workers. Also listed are post office letters for Sidney Nebraska ending December 18 1548 for both men and women with names and addressees.
