Norwood Faces New Trial Bid After Jorgest Verdict
In a late night session the jury awarded F. J. Jorgest 8500 against Hugh Norwood for a small book account noted as a deficit. Norwood plans to seek a new trial as an attachment secures the judgment against Norwood's second hand store. Following this case, Walker and Danielson dispute proceeds over rent and damages from a farm tenancy, with prior arbitration awarding Danielson 850. The court docket includes various filings and adjournments for local civil actions and tax-related matters through June 7, 1909.
