Harris Injunction Suit Continued Against Sentinel Co
In Vincennes Superior Court the injunction suit of John T. Harris against the Sentinel Company of Indianapolis and the county board of commissioners was postponed. Harris argues the contract is invalid due to county officers failing to file schedules of stationery needs while bids were received. He operates a Loogootee printing plant and claimed his bid was lower, but the contract was awarded to the Sentinel. The case seeks repayment of money alleged to have been paid under the contract, with damages claimed from $700 to $1,000.
