LAWSON WINS OUT.
Ex-Councilman Gets His Share Of the
Franchise Deal.

Ex-Councilman Gets His Share Of the
Franchise Deal.
The celebrated case of John L. Law
son VS.. Mary S. Walker, executrix, was
dismissed in the district court yester-
day on motion of plaintiffs attorneys.
The plaintiff collected his claim nearly
in fun, but at what figures the parties
In interest declined to make public
The action was brought a couple OF
years ago, subsequent TO the death OF
> Fred Walker, to collect 3d. from
oecedentS estate, the eXecutr1x having
dlsallowed the claim. The claim was
based upon the allegation that walker
agreed during his lifetime to pay Law
services In finding a customer at $4,000
for an electric light franchise granted
by the city council to Walker. Law
son found customer in Boetcher &
Hunter of Leadville, who organized the
Citizens Electric Light company on the
walker franchise, and subsequently
sold out to the predecessor of the COM
pany which now supplies all the cleo
trio illumination used in this city.
AT the trial of the issues some months
ago a jury awarded Lawson verdict
for the full amount of the claim Since
then the suit has been pending on a
motion for a retrial.
The defense intended to make every
effort to show that Lawson, who was a
member of the city council which
granted the franchise. was merely
seeking to get his share as a bonus
Tor the franchise, but it was found to
be in opposition to the interests of the
defense to Lay much stress on this
phase of the transaction, about which,
had Walker lived, there might have
been presented a very different aspect
of the alleged transaction.
