Portmouth Iowa appeals over Armistice Day injuries ruling
Three notices of intention to file petitions for rehearings on recent supreme court decisions were received by the clerk. Portsmouth Iowa intends to rehear a ruling that the town, not two individuals, is liable for injuries to minor John Heller from an exploding frog during Armistice Day celebrations. The suit named Joe Clark and William Hammerand and the town as defendants. The high court held the two individuals not liable but found the town liable for damages for permitting the incident. Barnes City Savings Bank also signals appeal from a decision reversing and remanding a fraud and breach of contract suit. A lower court had awarded a judgment to cancel a tax assessed against J R Scott’s property in Muscatine county for building a partition fence.
