Judge McCarty Monday morning
handed down a decision on the motion
brought by C. c. Bow for Adolph Becker
and II. L. Spelman against G. G. Up
ham and w. r. Cook for the vacating
Of a Judgment Of $154. The claim made
by the plaintiff was that some years
ago Cook and Becker had legal troubles.
Suit was brought in court. Then while
II was pending settlement was made
out of court. The court records show
the case was marked settled. After
ward Attorney Upham went to court
and the Judge, having forgotten that
the case was settled, rendered judgment
against Becker for s154 on default Of
appearance. Spellman was brought
into the case by reason Of the fact that
he had gone on the appeal bond of
Becker in the justice court in the case.
Nothing was done in the matter for
two or three years and suddenly Upham,
who is assignee for Cook, demanded
that spellman pay the Judgment. SPELL
man never knew anything about it. He
refused and suit was brought to set the
judgment aside.
The court held that 1t was mistake

vacated 1t so far that the other side be
permitted to answer and upon hearing
Of the defense If it shall appear that
the judgment is not Just it will be
knocked out entirely.
