Actress and manager clash ends with a punch
In Morris after a show at the opera house, actress Mrs. Grace Coyne accused manager Louis Goldberg of short changing her by a dollar.

Meanwhile John Van Wrinkle of Seneca sues Wrought Iron Range Co. for 20000, after a prolonged defense and a prior embezzlement accusation that led to a full acquittal.
