Two Names to One Man Leads to
Curious Complications.
J. p. Stone, who carried OH millinery
business in two places, or by two systems,
or with some other duality feature thought
il would simplify matters to use two
names SO to some patrons he was j. r.
Stone and to others A. g. Stone. This
didn't work so well in law suit in which
he figured as double plaintiff against
Ellen Hoye who owed % cents to
A. G. and $34.75 to J. p. The
problem came up for solution before
Judge Cooke in the Sixth District court
this morning. Lawyer Tom West was for
defendant and Attorney Dennis tried to
straighten out the accounts Of his
told the council their preliminary
arithmetic ought to be done
out of court and the answer, 1915 for
plaintiff, was finally arrived at, $15 having
been subtracted from the larger amount,
and A. G. Stones % cents having been
forgotten.
