The famous suit or MISS IenG
against j. P. Crusen and wife, all of
Winnebago City, for damages infiict-
ed in an alleged assault, has finally
been settled, 1t will be remembered
that Miss Lent taught school near
Winnebago City and that she was
badly, if not permanently, injured by
members of Crusen's family after she
had inflicted punishment upon one OF
the daughters. In teh District court
trial the Jury returned verdict for
$4,000 for Miss Lent. In the settle
ment that has been made, Miss Lent
accepts $4,000 without costs, to be
paid in installments extending over
three years. Considering the size of
the verdict, this is an excellent settle
ment from the Crusen standpoint.
Pau & Young are among among Mr..
Crusen's attorneys. The case caused
great feeling in Fairbault county at
tue time of the assault and trial.
