Jury awards Burns heirs wife $5900 for services rendered
A Superior court jury ruled Annie Burns entitled to $5,900 from L. P. Burns executor of Z A Burns estate for care provided during his decline. The case followed a challenge to a deed by Z A Burns to Annie, later disputed by other heirs. A separate suit by C A and J W Weborn against High Point Lumber Co. yielded $186.16. A new High Point baseball manager Dick Miller was named for the 1920 Piedmont league season. He will oversee hiring and firing, with club officials handling finances. Malcolm R Patterson, former Tennessee governor, spoke at Friends Church on prohibition urging national and world reform.
