The lawsuit last Saturday, Burbank
VS.. Lampher, drew a large crowd of
spectators, F. H. Raymore, Esq, of
Eden, acting as Umpire and L. P. Butts
of North Hyde Park as Marshal. The
defendant called for jury and the fol-
lowing named gentlemen were selected
and acted Daniel Gregory, P. A. Par
rim, J. c. Crocker, Joseph Burnett and
Homer Kneeland. The attorneys we're
w. R. Tracey of Johnson for plaintiff
and G. B. Allen of Hyde Park for de-
fendant The controversy arose over a
goose feather bed, estimated to weigh
from eight to twenty pounds, enclosed
in an extremely dirty tick. The wit
nesses were numerous and seemed de-
sirous to tell some truth, although they
did not quite agree in every particular.
The charge by Esquire Raymore was
brief, but full of meaning, The jury af-
ter receiving their so cents each retired
to one Of the Valley House parlors es-
corted by Sheriff Butts, After about
one-half hours deliberation they return
ed the following verdict, to wit, That
the defendant pay the plaintiff SIG and
costs at once or go to Jail. He preferred
the latter and his request was granted.
Last Monday Sheriff Butts went with
him lest he make some mistake and
take the wrong road and get lost Both
attorneys are entitled to much credit
for their untiring efforts TO have their
own way in the matter.
