The case of j. w. Kitchen against Henry
A. Eastman, involving the possession of the
Paxton hotel, came up before jury
yesterday afternoon in Gibson's court
Messrs. A. j. and w. S. Poppleton had
charge of the case for the defendant and Mr..
George E. Pritchett for the plaintiff.
The particulars of the case were fully
set forth exclusively IN THE BEE
last week. The facts in brief are that Mr..
house needs repairs and Mr.. Kitchen will not
bear the expense of making the needed i'm
provements because he holds that the lease
provides that all necessary repairs were to
be made by the lessee during the time OF the
lease.
Mr.. Kitchen has. therefore, sued for pos
session of the annex or kitchen part which
belongs to him in person. The difficulty
really involves the possession of the whole
house because the hotel cannot be operated
as it is now arranged without the use of the
annex known as the old Herald building.
Tho case was given TO tho jury at o'clock,
and after deliberatlng for half an hour the
jury rendered verdictain favor of the
plaintiff, granting him immediate possession
of the property in controversy
The attorneys for the defendant served
notice at once that an appeal would be taken
to the district court. Justice Gibson fixed
the appeal bond at $4,000, and it was
promptly furnished.
1t was intimated by Mr. Kitchens at
torneys that n suit would be begun at once
to gam possession of the main part Of the
building.
One of Mr.. j. B. Kitchens attorneys IN
the Paxton hotel case said today to a BEE re-
porter that an action would be commenced in
justice court within few days by Mr.
Kitchen to gam possession of the main por-
tion of the Paxton hotel Realizing that the
case will in all probability have to be carried
to tho district court the attorneys have de-
cided to begin il in justice court because
that Is shorter route to dis
trict court than by way of the
county court. Mr.. Eastman will refuse TO
pay rent while the case is pending.
The appeal bond in the first case was ac-
cepted today by Justice Gibson and the first
case will now rest until it is called up is dis
trict court. Mr. Eastman's attorneys think
the case will not be reached for nearly six
