Over at Bellaire yesterday. Justice
Frank Mason and a jury settled a novel
case. IN 1898, Shannon Dunfree lived in
the country and sold butter and eggs in
Bellaire. Among his customers was
Lewis Long. an old friend and acQuaint-
anCe. Several times, while delivering
mis- produce. Mr.. Dunfee invited Mrs.
Long and the children to come 10 the
country and spend a week. Finally
The invitation was accepted by Mrs.
Long and her two children who stayed
a. Duntee's three days.
Still later. two of Mr.. Longs daugh-
ters visited a sister of Mrs. Dunfce, at
Duniees house, for a week.
A few months ago Dunfee moved
back TO Bellaire and rented a house Of
Mrs. Long. When the bill for rent was
offered last week, Dunfee presented a
counter claim of $50 for the board of
members of the Long family when they
were at his house in 1898.
The jury decided Duniee's claim
worthless.
