Jobes Plague Court Records Sent to Topeka from Harper
Harper county lawyer Bradley in Attica sent a certified copy of court records to Topeka relating to Mr Jobes the new bank commissioner. The 1890 Harper county suit against George H Young for defaming Jobes centered on alleged remarks accusing Jobes of robbing creditors of Attica Sugar and Kansas State Sugar companies while serving as receiver. Young’s answer disputes the allegations claiming the statements were true in substance and that Jobes was said to be a thief and swindler by neighbors.
